Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe
It seems like reading Edgar Allen 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 Allen 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?


I am pretty sure that i read a Edgar Allen Poe story in 7 grade i think. I am not sure. It was along time ago and i dont even know if it was Edgar Allen Poe. The book that i think i read was "The Cask of Amontillado"

The Cask of Amontillado was kinda creepy. i dont remember much about it though. The only part that i kinda remember is that i think like some one got burried in stones or something, and another person had to put the last brick in a wall that made it so the other person couldnt get out. i dont really know. it is kinda confusing, and i dont even know if i am talking about the right book.

I dont know if this is the same story but in 7 grade we also read a book that might have been by Edgar Allen Poe but im not sure. well the story was about like a jewel or ruby or diamond. some with a lot of value. And there was a poor lady and she was going to go to some where fancy and someone let her borrow a necklace that was really expensive. and when the lady was at the dance or what ever she was at. she lost the necklace and they couldnt find it. so her and her husband worked the rest of there lives to get money to pay for it and then in the end they found out it was a fake necklace.
