Edgar Allan Poe

'The Tell-Tale Heart' is probably one of, if not the, best story from the genius mind of this deeply troubled author. 'The Cask of Amontillado' (short story), 'For Anne' and 'The Raven' (both poems) are also great works that should be read by everybody!

If you like the Tell-Tale Heart there is a new movie coming out updating it with Josh Lucas starring...it is way different though than the original plot, check out this article on it: http://www.terrortube.com/html/Lucas-and-Tell-Tale-Heart.html

I've read several of his stuff and to be honest, I find the way he wrote quite lyrical. It's catchy and sticks with you, however, I'm not partial to him. I honestly find some of his stuff, strange and not quite as 'scary' as people claim them to be. I guess that's just me.

I really like the "Black Cat" and "annabell Lee" and "the raven", most people don't think of those two when they hear Edgar Allan Poe :)

i love his stories especially the tell tale heart. that is the first mystery story i ever idolized. eventhough it was just a short story he he. the father of the modern mystery is edgar allan poe. Edgar Allan Poe remains today one of the most-beloved mystery writers in history. His contributions to literature and the mystery genre cannot be underestimated. hands down to edgar allan poe!!

The Bells! Read that poem, that is, if you haven't already. It has a wonderful flow.

[i]"It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me."[/i] This is a poem I had to memorize and recite in class when I was in high school. I love the rhyme and rhythm.

Tell Tale Heart is one of my favorites along the Raven.

Yeah, but I've only read the Cask of Amontillado and The Raven. Poe's one of the best story writers. We made a film out of those two (our prof told us too and it was damn hard!). It sucks due to certain circumstances we can't avoid but at least it was appreciated. Poe is a classic writer. I like the way there's brilliance in his works, how genius his works are.^_^ Reading and understanding the Cask, it made me want to read a lot more of his works! Ahahaha... Thank God for libraries ahehehe...

We had to read a few of his poems and stories in school. I like "The Raven" and "House of Usher, too.

There was a time in my life that I really liked Edgar Allan Poe a lot. I used to love "the raven" and "the bells" and found "the murders of the rue morgue" quite interesting. I think it was a dark phase LOL I still enjoy his poems and stories but not the same way I used to. And I still think he is a a gifted poet. I just don't have him as my favorite anymore :)

I read his books when I was a student. But frankly speaking if I could choose whether to read him or not, I wouldn't. I admit, he's a very good writer, his descriptions are so vivid and specific, but the plots of his stories are so awful (perhaps I'm a too sensible person) that I could hardly read till the end.

i also have a book about short stories and poems of edgar allan poe... i got into buying it coz i like Annabel Lee a lot... i also like Black Cat... i forgot the title of the other stories but i think he is a great writer and poet...

I like the Cask of Armadillo (I can't remember the actual spelling of the word and its always been an inside joke in my family. Regardless, I bet if you are a fan of Poe you know what I am talking about!) I really liked this story, not only does it have the great twisted, human psychy that Poe wrote so well, it has betrayal, insanity and more importantly killing your friend in a new and interesting way is always popular! I like the Raven too, but EVERYONE that has ever celebrated Holloween knows about the Raven... Its overdone :).

Never saw them here, I should check out ...

i never heard of that ,i'll search it from the net.
