It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?
I have read a few Edgar Allen Poe stories. I do not remember it cause I was probably not paying attention. Or I just didn't like the story so I didn't listen. Who knows... What I think i will be hearing from his stories will probably just really creep me out. I do not like being scared so it will probably just not be good.
Since he is a classic horror writer that probably means he is really good at writing scary things and or good at scaring people. I have read scary stories before and I just usually stop reading them cause I think there lame or just scary. I guess for people that like scary stories will think he is a really great writer. But for me, I'm not sure. We will just have to wait and see.
