I guess looking outside on a day like today - puts one in mind of such frosty literary pursuits!<BR/><BR/>I must admit, I have only read The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. (loved the ending, so many didn't) I am a huge Poe fan, as well. I worked one summer as a tour guide at the Poe Museum in Richmond, VA. (a little trivia)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this finely written review, Vesper.

We just got our contracts for "Tales Out of Miskatonic University," so when the book is released this year you just might be able to participate in the activities of that venerable institution of higher learning! Have you ever read Dracula? If you haven't had the pleasure, I think you'll find it both interesting and instructive. It's a bit different than the movies, but all the more interesting because of it.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546882686381428986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-51498133245865241742009-01-04T17:04:00.000-05:002009-01-04T17:04:00.000-05:00I haven't read any of those books, but I get a shi...I haven't read any of those books, but I get a shiver just thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>I love when I feel that way about a story...<BR/><BR/>"There are certain books that do this to me, books that, beyond any reasonable explanation, will always represent a never-ending fascination to me. Books that I HAVE to have, and keep close to me, and read again and again, or just touch and relish in the comfort of their presence."<BR/><BR/>I love that feeling. When something you find outside of yourself, connects with something inside.
