I am looking for fellow goths or non-goths...who like edgar allen poe. In my opinion, he is the best, most descriptive writer of all time. With out his influence alot of writers would not be around.

I love his poem the raven

It's got fantastic use of language and is really cleverly written =)

That's his most Famous one.

My favorite is either Cask of Amontillado or Tell Tale Heart...Or top of my list The black cat

there are so many I can not pick an absoulte favoritie

I read it for English literature several years ago, but I don't really remember the stories exactly. But I did like it I read.. Tales of mystery and imagination

The correct spelling is actually Allan. Allen is a common misspelling.

I love the story, The Tell-Tale Heart, and I find The Pit and the Pendulum suspenseful. I love his way of writing and his talent for bringing the human fear to his advantage. Its sad that his life was so filled with bad luck and tragedies though if it wasn't, I doubt that Poe's writings wouldn't have been as well.

I LOVE a great many of Edgar Allen Poes work. I own at lest one copy of each story or poem that he's ever writen or published. My 3 favorites of his works are The Raven, A Dream within a Dream, and Annabell Lee.

He's awesome! I used one of his short stories for my English Class. They loved it!

I used to love Poe as a child! I would curl up at bedtime with a stack of books beside me, and the one at the top would always be a collection of his short stories. The Pit and the Pendulum is my favorite.

I love him, he's one of my favorites, I like the Tell Tale Heart and the Raven

Poe is one of my favorite authors, and we covered him extensively in a course on Southern Literature last fall here at The University of Georgia. While you may recognize his works in the Gothic genre, it may interest you to know that he is responsible for developing the Detective genre as well. His Murders in the Rue Morgue was groundbreaking in it's form and content.

Also, for all you Poe-heads, you may want to look into reading the works of a man named William Gilmore Simms. The man was Poe's main inspiration, and was like-minded in that he traveled to some very dark parts of the human mind.
