Book & Review Forums: 3 Short Reads by Edgar Allan Poe
Not my thang
Poe was my dad's favorite author, which is why I tried to read these. Didn't care for the gore and gloom.

Poe was very dark and I can understand if that is not your thing.
If you did want to try a couple more of his stories then I would recommend The Gold Bug which was one of the first examples of cryptography and code breaking in a story or Murder at the Rue Morgue which, whilst still quite dark, was the first detective story.
Both were very influential on later writers.May 1, 2009 10:12 am
