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?

Yes i do remember reading on of his works. It was The Cask of Amontillado. It was in 6Th grade around this time of year. And our teacher decided to read us this book. It was scary and intense!
After reading it we got to watch a movie on it. It was interesting. We got popcorn too! It was pretty fantastic. And remarkable.
I would give it a A- because there were some boring parts and as i said there were some intense parts! Poe is a very creative guy! And interesting i don't know how he came up with things like that! So Gruesome and violent. I have a friend whose name i can not tell so i will give her a nick name. Dino, She is very scared about this. She does not like violence does not want to hear any of his stories! I dont blame her. But she is kinda over the edge on this one! But she is so funny i think she will be ok she will just have to plug her ears. And she will get through this.
