Boris Karloff Presents Tales Of The Frightened by Michael Avallone

Lucky for me Halloween is the perfect season for reading. I think I’ll reacquaint myself with the works of Poe. Haven’t read much of Poe’s works? Try reading some of his poems or one of his famous tales. It won’t prevent me from just enjoying the literary works he gave us. But there was nothing I found that directly pointed to why he was so good at writing spooky stuff. I think it’s safe to say Poe had some issues. Although Poe never finished the work, he laid the foundation for a story theme that involved loneliness, isolation, and fear. Jan 4th was written but there is no text for that entry. Well, actually only three entries exist from Jan 1-3. But it sure sounds like it could have been an awesome story! It begins with diary entries written by a lighthouse watchman. Actually he died shortly after he began it.

“The Light-House” is the unofficial title of Poe’s last literary work. Many of these stories have been made into classic horror films starring the legendary actor Vincent Price. Of course he must have reflected his own interests since he wrote so well and his works were so well received.Īny fan of Poe will want to read his most famous tales like “The Mask of the Red Death”, “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Fall of the House of Usher”. Many people at the time had interests in reading about mystery, macabre and the supernatural and Poe obliged by writing for the masses. I found a website called Complete Collections of Poems by Edgar Allan Poe where you can read poems like The Raven for free. Some of his most famous works are considered part of the dark romanticism genre. Although he seemed to excel at telling stories of horror and mystery. Sounds cool, huh? Edgar Allan Poe wrote tales, poems, and other works of fiction for various genres that included satires, humor and comedy. “Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,ĭoubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before ”
