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 have read many different scary stories. I've read R.L Stine books and he writes horror stories. The poe book i have read from Edgar Allen was "The Raven" its kind of different, i read it in sixth grade and we had to go over a lot of it. It's cool how he writes and how he puts in poems. I think, since its getting close to holloween, we will be reading scary stories, ones that he's written.
