Edgar Allan 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?
Edgar Allan Poe. My experience with him is limited, but probably more extensive than your average ninth grader's. We read "Tell-Tale Heart" in English last year. I have also read "Annabel Lee." I remember "The Tell-Tale Heart" well and "Annabel Lee" not at all. I did like them. I am not one for creepy in any way shape or form, but Poe's stories are well written and well done. And for being creepy horror, they weren't as bad as I expected. However, I haven't read much (that I remember). I expect great things of Poe. From what I can tell, his stories will have violence, but not descriptions. Creepy, but more in a mental way. I am now way excited. I have read a variety of creepy (sorta?). I really like murder mysteries.
