Edgar Allan Poe
January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849
Poe was my God of Fiction. I used to love the horrible and the grotesque–much more than I do now–and can recall tales of murderers, spirits, reincarnations, metempsychoses, and every shudder-producing device known to literature!

In high school, we studied Poe’s Tell-Tale Heart. It still chills me!
I have an Illustrated treasury about Poe from Metro. It contains facsimiles of his letters, drafts, and more. One day I’ll have to reread his writings.

You’re welcome, Heena. I practically grew up reading Poe. I would be pleased to be included in your “recommended by” section. The Interesting Literature blog usually has some nice tidbits also.
