Any fans of Edgar Allan Poe?

I'm a fan of Poe's work. From his poems to his stories that were made into movies. Are there any other Poe fans out there?

Sure, I think anyone who has read horror fiction has read Poe.

I do like Poe, although haven't read any of his work for years.

I read it all in my pre-teen years. A lot of it twice. I would like to go back and read some of my favourites.

I am not too familiar with his work which is sad to say, but from what I read it was pretty interesting. I actually have a book in my room with his poems, I should check it out tonight :)

Definatley a fan. My personal favourites are probably The Cask of Amontillado and The Tell-Tale Heart. Plenty of quality horror-themed stories but I like his style in general and find most of his work interesting. The Balloon Hoax & The Business Man stand out too, can't really think of anything I haven't enjoyed of his... Last thing I read was probably his essay on Maelzel's Chess Player which was also an entertaining read.:cool:

Yeah. I like most of his stories and almost all of his poetry a lot.

William Wilson is a cool example of the doppelganger theme.
