Topic: Edgar Allen Poe

So, I haven't quite read all of his works, but I've read most of his stories, and I love the guy. big_smile

Anyone else a fan? And if so, what are your favorite stories of his?

For me, it's The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, Cask of Almontillado, and The Pit and the Pendulum.

Re: Edgar Allen Poe

I loveeeee Poe! I think my favorite is The Raven, Fall of the House of Usher, and Annabellelee

are you excited about the movie they are making? with John Cusack?

Re: Edgar Allen Poe

Ah, The Raven and Annabellelee are both great poems too.

As for the movie, Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Should be interesting!

Re: Edgar Allen Poe

I love Poe too! My favorite are "The Black Cat", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "The Tell-Tale Heart". He was a genius in this genre. I read also "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", a very good book.

Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is the only actual novel that Poe wrote isn't it?
I actually haven't read The Black Cat yet, suprisingly. That one's next on my list.

Re: Edgar Allen Poe

I've read so many through the years it's hard to remember all of them. Some obvious ones are great, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Black Cat, and I really love Morella and Ligeia.

Hey Az, if Poe and Lovecraft are your favourite authors, then you must check out Algernon Blackwood, he was a huge influence on Lovecraft and predated his works buy a decade or so. His works a perfect mix of gothic horror and weird fiction. I'm sure you'll dig his work, The Willows and The Wendigo are particularly awesome tales.
