I like the pit and the pendulum a lot, a short horror story. :3

I already know this story, but I'll read it again because it's cool. There is a game adaptation in steam but it looks… poor.

I really like this story and it was also one of three books I had to read for my last year in school the other two being Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson and Maigret chez les Flamands by Georges Simenon.
Concerning the game, the reviews are bad but I can't say anything about this game myself because I haven't played it. ^^

I'm particulary fond of "Morella", find it quite disturbing. And I also like the ones that are more detective-like as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". My favorite, now that I'm starting to recall, might be "The Masque of the Red Death".

I remember reading a few short tales a loooong time ago. The Pit and the Pendulum, Murders in the Rue Morgue are some I can recall. Never got that much into Poe because shortly after that I discovered the work of H.P Lovecraft. You probably have read some of his stuff, but in case you haven't, add it to your whishlist. It's amazing.

for more recent writers, I would recommend Clive Barker. He's insane. But I know it's not the same. I'll try to remeber some more. I'm more a sci-fi guy than fantasy/horror.

ah, you got me wrong. clive barker is a horror/terror writer at its best. he wrote hellbound heart, later filmed as Hellraiser (the first one). But the book I'd recomend to you is The Damnation Game. Man, that's creepy.

I like Stephen Kind much, since I was a kid. But that's definitely a different kind of horror/fantasy writting. That said, everyone should read The Stand. His best work ever, IMHO.

some are great, but some (mostly those made in the early 90's0 are crap. Sleepwalkers, for instace. what the f was that.

just remembered, yesterday I bought a complete collection of Lovecraft's stuff. Very complete, including links to audiobooks. If you have no problems with digital books, it's with a really great price on Google Play.

Looks like there's another version of his collected works, but it very poorly edited. I recommend the one above.

My favourite Poe's stories are The Black Cat, Mask of the Red Death, Tell-tale Heart, Premature Burial, The Pit and the Pendulum and Fall of the House of Usher <3

Oh that's right, forgot about Cask of Amontillado. That one is very good as well (but then again, I liked all Poe's stories and most of his poems) :)

Why read when you can play?

Hi!
I'm gonna start reading some Edgar Allan Poe stories. I've read a few of them years ago but I barely remember them. So, which are the best? Can you help me to create a reading list?
Thanks!
