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 seen picture for the stories and they are pretty freaky looking! Even the names of the stories are freaking weird, like why would you name your stories weird names like he named his. I guess i would expect that from a writer who writes classic horror stories, but it is still kind of weird to me.
I have read some pretty scary stories but i dont really like reading them cause i am a wussy and get scared of things like that pretty easy, plus i reamember most of the scary stories i have read or even heard, and i don't like beening scared about things like that. I hate scary movies and won't watch them ever. heck i heard a story about this girl who has a guy in her house well he kills her dog and ends up hidding under her bad and licking her hand just like her dog would have...sick...and he writes her a note in her dogs blood that says humans can lick too. yeah after i heard that i wouldn't let any part of my body hang over the side of the bed, ever. I am still scared to and i heard that like 7 years ago.
