Is anyone else as obesessed with Edgar Allan Poe as I am? I absolutly love his work and I think Tell Tale Heart is the BEST horror story around. It's not even the murder that is that creepy, I think. I think that it's how insane the guy is that creeps me out. How about you?

Edgar Allen Poe's pretty cool. He's a very fascinating person. I try not to read too many of his stories though. They're great, but they scare the piss out of me. It was amusing cuz right after I read The Tell Tale Heart one of my floorboards started squeaking. Shocked

I read this story and The Black Cat in the small hours. It scared me how much it scared me.

That made no sense.

It's a very good story.

I loved the Black Cat.. We read it for my English class on Halloween.

Another good Poe story is this one where a guy is having a party and there are these different rooms of different colors.. I don't know the name, but it sounded so cool.

I spend hours on there reading his stuff. I love love love The Cask of Amontillado. Montressor scared the living piss out of me. He's one creeepy dood. memorized Eldorado. Possibly my favorite of his. Annabell Lee, of course, is classic.

But the Tell Tale Heart is creepy beyond all. Man, that's like...well, its obvious the man was insane. There is a fine line between genius and insanity and I think Mr. Poe crossed it...

I had to read The Black Cat this year as a part of our study on Gothic literature. And I read The Tell Tale Heart in 7th or 8th grade. The stories were almsot exactly a like but they're good and yes, very creepy.

The Masque Of The Red Death? I think it's that one, where they hide in the big mansion/castle to escape the plague?
That scared me quite a bit aswell.
