Edger Allen Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
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?

Yes I had Mrs. Eaquinto last year and the year before and the one I remember the most is "The Cask of Amontillado" I kind of liked it. It was freaky though that's for sure. I remember watching the movie, not so much reading it though. :/ I do like reading stories about people coming back from the dead to like haunt other people, I like reading mysteries, I like reading romances, etc.
