Edgar Allen 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?


I have read some of his work a while ago. Actually is was like last year in English with Mrs.Eaquinto. It was a little scary. I remember reading this one about a man that buried someone in a cave or something like that. He built a wall around this guy well the man was drunk. Or something like that. She didn't read them to us, we went into groups and read them. Then she would explain what went on.

Also I think there was one were this man buried some dead person in the floor of his house. Maybe I am talking about someone else but I am pretty sure it was him. I really didn't like them. They are really creepy. He must have had something happen to him that made him think that way or something. I don't like creepy or scary things so his stuff is not my cup of tea.
