IF you want to really understand EDGAR ALLAN POE then you as a reader or scholar must study not only his works such as ''THE PIT AND THE PEDULUM''''THE TELL TALE HEART''''THE RAVEN'' THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE''but read into as many bio books on his life.HE was indeed the father of horror.Unlike STEPHEN KING -POE had a unique way to weave stories as well as his novels lasting so many years after his death.HE can not be copied and his materials will entertain us for years to come.Without doubt he was master of stories relating to death or unusual-murders such as ''MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE''ending is not what the reader indeed expects but a surprise ending for sure.POES'prose will live forever.
AUTHOR RICHARD SATTANNI
