Annabelle Lee was very deep. His love for that woman had him feeling that he could not exist without her. It was something I call a death I refuse to part kind of love.

"Annabell Lee", "The Raven", and "The Bells" are my favorites.

I loved the Tell-Tale Heart, and think that Poe is a great Gothic writer!

We had to memorize portions of the Raven in junior high. I still remember those lines.

The first work of Poe that I read was The Cask of Amontillado. The story gave me chills!

I've always known about Poe somehow, I forget what story of his I was introduced to but a year ago I found this interesting Netflix collection of narration of his stories titled, " Extraordinary Tales." I encourage anyone who either lover's his work or wants to get a feel of what sort of stories he writes by watching this.

I will never forget Edgar Allen Poe. He was the only one that I remember in my literature class. I can't remember the title of the book I read but it's about someone eloping. If anyone knows what I am talking about let me know.
