    Nice lens! Poe was one of the first writers I read when I was in junior high school... and his stories creeped me out in a good way. (Maybe he was the precursor to Stephen King?) Anyway, I've liked, favorited, thumbs-upped, and lensrolled you.

    Poe is my favorite poet and one of my favorite all time authors. The Raven is easily my favorite poem ever. Lensrolling to my Call of Cthulhu

    Poe gave us a glimpse of the darker side of life and the psyche. His work is fascinating and a little frightening. I love it.
    Great lens

    Edgar Allen Poe was the first poet I was ever drawn to. I love" the Raven "and I love the short story " Fall of the House of Usher". This is a wonderful lens!

    Oh I remember so well, my sister Betty had to learn The Black Cat in high school - and I think I listened to her recite it so many times, that I almost knew it myself! Great lens!

    Oh so many! During a dark period in my life I used to read Poe. Somehow it was comforting, sort of like listening to the blues. Poe makes me think of my father, too. He was a literature and philosophy professor and taught Poe often. Thanks for the memories!
