Shakespeare is far better in my opinion. Poe is just plain... scary. Has anyone read his story "The Black Cat"? I think that's what it's called. Anyway, he talks about gouging the poor kitty's eyeball out with a knife, and than killing his wife and walling her body up inside a closet. Shakespeare is definetly the saner of the two. Although some of his plays are pretty morbid. Such as Hamlet, Macbeth, Titus Andronicus, most of the tragedys... they're both pretty morbid actually.
