Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite American author, of all time.

Nice hint there, EAP ;) :D

Horror story... Mask of the Red Death
Detective story... think Golden Bug
can't remember if I've read any general story by Poe
Poem... The Raven :)

Welcome to the big family, EAP :).

Thanks Jay! :) :D

I agree with you wholeheartedly on your selection of Masque of Red Death and Raven.

Among detective stories, I rather liked Murder at Rue Morgue.

By General stories I meant stories like The Oblong Box and Berenice et al. [Which to me can only be losely placed in a certain genre]

What's the one where the guy is buried alive in a wine cellar, that and the Maelstrom are my favorites. Of course the Raven is a classic not to be overlooked though.

The Cask of Amontillado. I like the Black Cat. Can't remember much of his poetry.

Tell Tale Heart, Pit and the Pendulum, Masque of the Red Death, and Raven

I totally forgot about all those above, I amend my earlier statment to, "I have never read anything by Poe that didn't strike my fancy". And Black Flag, you got it!

I'm ashamed to say I've not read much of Poe. I'm a little afraid to see what imagination runs in the family...

Some time ago I started a thread with some questions that concerns both "Edgar Allan poe and "Journey To The Center Of The Earth". This is the thread:

Maybe you can help me out?

my fave poem is Annabel Lee, nothing compares too it, the beuty, the love and the sadness in it makes an amazing poem. I haven't read many stories but the black cat is the best one I have read by him.

I like Hop Frog. Nothing like sweet, sweet monkey revenge.

Check out my username. Iam a 100% bonifide Poe fan.
Favorite horror story: The Pit and the Pendulum
Favorite detective story: The Gold Bug
Favorite general story: The Oval Portrait
Favorite poem: Annabel Lee, The Raven and Eldorado.
Welcome fellow Poe fan.

horror: the masque of the red death
detective: sorry don't really like
general:?????
poem: the bells, a dream within a dream("should my early...")

"but they tell thee I am proud? they lie, they lie aloud"

I wonder why I don't like Poe... I should like 'dark' stuff... I'm going to give him another try when I have time to.

the raven freaked me out as a kid, and the pit and the pendulum was a little scary too.
haven't read poe since.

oops! not to digress from your lovely thread, eap.
