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 "The Cask of Amontillado". It was pretty weird. I remember how the guy got sealed into a brick wall. It was eery. I think we are going to read some scary stories, since it is getting close to Halloween. Oh yah I have also read the tell-tale heart. It is about this guy with this messed up eye. Then the guy every night he goes to this other guys house and scares him. Finally the messed up eye dude murders the scared guy, and sticks him under a floor board. The police comes and he hides and because his heart was pumping so much he comes out and turns himself in. Yes, I have read a few scary stories most were those dumb in a dark, dark, room.
