I like Edgar Allan Poe. His twisted dark tales were planted as abridged seedlings in my young mind. He's my fave author & poet! like his short stories. I find him interesting. He’s exploring how and why humans can be cruel. And he does it from the tormented and deranged perspective of the narrator so that we see things as he does. Poe was highly intelligent and well educated, allowing him to use a variety of peoples, places, times, and emotions to draw from in his stories. Most folks only recognize him as a horror writer, which he certainly was, but he was much, much more than that.
