Give some of these short stories a try!

THis sounds like a perfect collection of stories--I like that Poe has humor (never thought of him in that light). My son was home from college this week and was telling me about the lecture on Poe in his gothic fiction class--apparently Poe did a lot of critical lit reviews and his first biographer was someone whom he slammed in a review and basically gave him the reputation as a dissolute reprobate. Now I want to read a bio as well as his stories.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-36184604996660646422016-11-18T12:35:56.318-05:002016-11-18T12:35:56.318-05:00Yes, that's when I first read Poe, too!Yes, that's when I first read Poe, too!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-63157678522503907852016-11-18T01:54:21.562-05:002016-11-18T01:54:21.562-05:00Poe is just about the only Classic author who reli...Poe is just about the only Classic author who reliably attracts teen readers.
