I've always been a massive fan of Poe, so reading more of his work was great! I liked quite a few, especially Masque of the Red Death and The Fall of the House of Usher, others I wasn't keen on. As usual I adored his poetry and enjoyed rereading some of my favourites. Overall a chonky but darkly enjoyable collection!
Came into work this morning to find this lovely surprise 😍 from a (recently discovered) fellow bookworm! Just made my day! 🤩 we've been going back and forth with book recs and favorite reads the last couple days. Love finding bookworms in the wild! 😁
I spent much of October and November reading these. I especially enjoyed Poe‘s poetry and the Cthulhu stories, but I haven‘t really touched them this month so I‘m taking off my currently reading list to start the year fresh. Maybe I‘ll finish them up next fall.
It's a lovely, cool fall day. The colors are starting to change. It makes it a good time to read a bit of Poe and earn some points for #TeamMonsterMash ! What is your favorite story by Poe? Mine is probably "The Pit and the Pendulum."

Here's my #ScarathlonDailyPrompt photo for the word "Black." I decided to go with a classic.

Day 6: Yellow
My pick is The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allen Poe. 🖤💛🎩Lord I wish I had a raven emoji so bad right now lol
I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but let's be honest - a book cover matters! I'm talking about actual books, btw, not the metaphor. Also very important? How it feels in my hands. Anyone else?
Not necessarily a Poe fan, but I almost bought this one on my last trip to the bookstore.

1&2) I can‘t really say I‘ve ever been scared from a book. But I also don‘t try to scare myself. I tend to like spending time with the creepy and uncanny, like Edgar Allan Poe‘s writing, and the evils of human nature like Shirley Jackson, or weird concepts like anything from Chuck Paulahnick.
3) I‘m not really sure if it‘s unpopular but I really like musicals like Little Shop of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, Repo: the Genetic Opera

Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” So... while listening to my audiobook for all the readathons, I decided to dabble in painting some rocks. I give you... The Raven... though it looks more like a crow. 🤷♀️

Nothing quite like some eerie Poe short stories on a rainy day. Stories read : The Mask of the Red Death, The Black Cat, The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Cask of Amontillado. (Only three of these were after October 1st for #scarathalon2020 and #cyoreadathon)
3 hours (30)+ themed stories (45)+ participation post (1)= 76pts for #TeamHarkness
Four stories read from this one: Cask of Amontiallodo (my favorite), Annabel Lee, Morella, and A Tale of the Ragged Mountains. Added 56 minutes for #cyoreadathon for a total of 10 hours, 22 minutes. +71 points for #TeamHarkness (253 total for #scarathlon)

The Haunted Palace by Edgar Allan Poe
Full poem available at: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/52370/the-haunted-palace
Day 2 of 7 days of books that have influenced me. I received this book in my thirteenth birthday and ever since have been a fan of dark tales. One of my favorites is the Oval Portrait and I also love The Fall of the House if Usher. #7days7books
Day 22 - #Poem #BloomingBibliophiles
#TheCompleteStoriesandPoems #EdgarAllanPoe
I would like to read this book by Poe. I love his poems especially Annabelle Lee and The Bells
This single volume brings together all of Poe's stories and poems, and illuminates the diverse and multifaceted genius of one of the greatest and most influential figures in American literary history.

There Might Be Cupcakes Podcast | Episode 59: Commingled Gloom and Grandeur | In which I read one of Poe‘s lesser-known short stories, “The Oval Portrait” | https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/there-might-be-cupcakes-podcas-520320/episode... #podcast #horror
This is the book that's taking up my time, I've read a chunk from this book before but it's huge and it's too much to read cover to cover; need breaks from it ~ so I'm taking another stab at it! 💀
Got a favourite Poe tale?
Read Across America week this week and each day has a different theme. Today's theme was "a shirt with words on it" so of course I had to rock some Poe.
Mr Gaiman posted this over in FB land. It‘s from a couple of years ago but it‘s still a fun listen to him read The Raven.

On a side note, I won't be taking part in the pumpkin carving contest as my hands mirror and I'm awkward with knives.
I looked through all my books and not a one had a raven on it, so I'm coping out a little. My husband knows like half this poem by heart, which is wild!
