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?

Um... i am expecting a nothing head ache like Shakespeare brought. Some more sleepless nights trying to catch up with the rest of the class. Then thinking about what might be under your bead or in your closet.

Having ALL the lights on while you do it so you don't get to scared. Maybe some stories about witches or people disappearing. Creepy little goblins roaming around making a ruckus. People waking up to ghosts in there room telling them to leave and never ever come back.

Wanting to know if it is all real or if he just made it all up in his creepy but genius imagination. Waking up screaming at the top of your lungs because you had a bad dream. Not wanting to go back to bed because of it.
