EDGAR ALLEN POE
Welcome to my Edgar Allen Poe page. Edgar Allen
Poe is arguably one of the most influential authors in American
literature. His stories and poems have been the inspiration for
many movies and other works. His grasp of the human condition,
and it's deficiencies, is awe inspiring. His sense of the macabre
and horror speaks volumes to what we, as readers, are afraid of.
I hope the selections that I ENJOY, will give
you some pause as to the nature of mankind. And at the end of
the day, it may make you thank the deity of your choice that you are
just a reader, and not a participant.
On a personal note, Poe's story THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO
is the inspiration for my short screenplay -- DIRTY WORK .
