It seems like reading Edgar Allen 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 Allen 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?

our teacher in 7th grade told us a cask of amontillado and the tell tale heart and i would say that writing stories for edgar allen poe was the only thing that kept him from being a serial killer because his stories werent things you would see in a horror movie they were mch more deranged and terrible to the point that it sickens your mind and his past must have been and abusive father that was cut into peices and burnt then sent down the sewers by an insane person and made this writer insane as well. because his stories arent like eyeballs in the walls and ghosts they are daranged killers that find happines in killing others and look at peoples eye in a wish to destroy them like n the tell tale heart the end
