Recently I started to read a poems and tales, written by Edgar Alan Poe. Some of them, for instance, the internationally well known "Facts in the Case of M.Valdemar" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" I had already read before - translated from English into my native language. But no I reveal their witchcraft in English. Very exciting, but hard to understand at the same time, because his language is very difficult, thoughts quite deep. Do you like Poe?

No, it's not all that easy to read, but most of it is about his wife or about things that have happened to him. He is dark, yes, but that is his allure.

I love reading Edgar Allan Poe. His style is unique, and I always find something new when I re-read his tales. Some ones are really deep, and make you reflect on some things that happens into your life.

Poe is too dark, too morbid for my taste!

I do read many classics, and Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorite authors. I have a collection of the classics. Yes, his stories are very complex some times, but yet very interesting.
