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?

I think that I have read "The Raven" and 'The Cask Of Amontillado". It was while ago when i read the storys and I am pretty sure that it's Edgar Allen Poe that I was reading but im not sure. I think one of them was about a man that had to be locked up somewhere for a really long time and he would get paid money but he left a day before the time limit and so he didn't get paid or something but its like a freaky story.

The other one was about like a man that hated another man. He went where the man was and murdered him. Then he went in like a dungeon and got killed or something like that Im not quiet sure. I think that the man was just like going crazy or something if i remember right and he went into the mans bedroom while he was sleeping and killed him.

If what i read was by Mr. Poe then I am kind of excited to read more of them because they were kind of freaky and they had a great halloweeny touch to them. The only thing is, is that they were kind of confusing but since we will be reading them out loud i am excited. I thought his books were pretty cool and i hope that they are scary! I love scary stories!!!!!
