As September draws to an end many of us think of a day ahead in the coming month: Halloween.
One my favorite authors that became a classic after his death is Edgar Allan Poe. The truth is known he was not well received in life for his writing of macabre stories.
Unlike writers of today's ghoulish horror stories such as Stephen King, Dean Koonz, Peter Strub which all have my undying love for their fantastic writing talents - their books have been top sellers for well over 30 years and they are all living.
Hollywood has made several novels into movies from these writers. King and Poe lead the pack for movies that bring you to the edge of your seat.
A quote from Poe a most complex man:
Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is expecting that it soon will be so. Edgar Allan Poe
