The king of short stories. Love reading his stories.

Just got done reading. "Enigma". Time to crash. Night friends.

the movie inspired me to want to re-read all these stories...i know, im a dork

Reading some Edgar Allen Poe before the movie. Yea, that's right! Wanna fight about it? Let me get a circus orangutan and it is ON!! >=D

Never Bet The Devil Your Head..... Sounds like my kinda short story!!!

I have this book. Most of his characters are off their rockers. Tale Tell Heart is the best.

The Pit and the Pendulum! So chilling!

Well I guess I'm tucking in my Facebook and putting it to sleep. Night little one <3 (bedtime story)

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream...

Poe fo sho.

Got this book as a leather bound copy from my dad when I was around 12. Still love it, and I am now 37
