While my friends were binging on Netflix, I was binging on Edgar Allen Poe's short stories . Nevertheless, much as this act is not considered a conventional summer activity, it was so worth it. I had heard of Poe's talent ever since I entered the world of literature. Master of Gothic horror stories, of eerie prose, of murderous poetry, Poe really knew how to write! Now I am trying to cut down on the amount of Poe consumption so I will have something left over to read on Halloween.
