Edgar Allen Poe

Does anyone else here like Poe? I love his works; the man was an absolute genius. An eccentric genius, but a genius nonetheless.

Yeah, I like Poe. My favorite stories are The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, and The Maelstrom.

I've read some of his stuff, ie tell tale heart. I really enjoyed it. When I've got a moment, I'll have to read some more of his stuff. I have a book around somewhere...

The Raven is probably my favorite. I also like The Black Cat, and the Tell-Tale heart is just awesome. I have the Unabridged Edgar Allen Poe, but it's from the library, and it has to go back soon.

Tale Tale Heart, Fall of the House of Usher, The Raven, some other poems, and The Gold Bug are all that I have read. They were awesome though and Poe is my favorite writer on horror stuff. His works really send a chill down my spine.

Ahhh The Black Cat is by far my favorite!

Gwaimir Windgem · 12-31-2002, 05:15 PM

All of his works are awesome.

Has anyone read the one, I think it's called "Words with a Mummy", where people are going to dissect a mummy, and he comes to life, and talks with them? That one was cool too. But Poe's horror rules all.

I really love the works of Poe. He puts so much details and logic in them.
My favourite story, forgot it's name, is when this guy is using this balloon to travel to the moon. Poe describes every little detail in that voyage in a great way.
