1. Edger Allen Poe? I have none

but from Edgar Allen Poe, Berenice

2. You stole my thunder. I love the Tell-Tale Heart.

The conscience is a very powerful thing.

Second favorite would be the Masque of the Red Death. You can't outrun the plague, although you arrogantly think you can.

18. Masque of the Red Death is tops in my book,

the whole thing reads like a poem.

3. The concept of Karma is a great thing.

In part, if that concept is real, as I believe it is, then I am going to have many good times, beer and travel money.

Although I view Karma differently, that concept is really going to work out well for me. Although the flaw in Karma is putting the reward/punishment completely on the actions of people. The concept of their being justice in the world I believe in, and with what I believe, defends the corrections in my situation also.

4. "The Cask Of Amontillado." A rich asshole takes revenge on another rich asshole...

...and gets away with it.

Cool!

I played Montresor in a local community production of 'Amontillado' a number of years ago...

10. That's you in the pic, isn't it?? Seems familiar.

.Master Thespian. "ACTING!"

[freethought]

17. I'll second that!

I had read a number or Poe's stories but none gave me the "willies" like that one did. It was one of those things that had me sleeping with the light on for a few days.

[trackfan]

21. Yeah, that one. n/t

[nolabear]

5. Fall of the House of Usher. Gothc, with comets!

[Moondog]

6. Another vote for "Fall of the House of Usher"

[mitchum]

9. And another vote

[flvegan]

20. And yet another.

[BlueIris]

7. "Masque of the Red Death."

But I also like "William Wilson." Doppelgangers fascinate me.

[Forkboy]

12. Same here.

It's all good, but that one stands out to me. One day I'll investigate why. :)

8. The time he said, "Yes, but in the morning I'll be sober...and you will still be ugly"

Eddie was a hoot

11. The Tell Tale Heart

We read it in class in the the 8th or 9th grade. Wow. We were shocked at Poe's story. It's almost 30 years later but I remember reading the story and what it was about. Now that is impact.

[HopeHoops]

13. Same here - "Tell Tale Heart"

[BlueIris]

14. Kick.
