I read it years ago but can't remember it. <br /><br />I'm not sure why I don't remember the story. I read the Tell-tale Heart when I was much younger and it's stayed with me my entire life. In fact, I think the Tell-tale Heart has subconsciously influenced my writing.Cathryn Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665896654352405640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-66735516350743330472010-12-10T23:21:37.885+00:002010-12-10T23:21:37.885+00:00Kelly: The Cask of Amontillado is also great.

I love his poetry too, especially To One in Paradise and A Dream Within A Dream.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-89603764234046057262010-12-10T20:12:36.279+00:002010-12-10T20:12:36.279+00:00Elizabeth: perhaps I have just read too much brill...Elizabeth: perhaps I have just read too much brilliant modern crime fiction :DDorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-71730627208913625192010-12-10T17:54:03.436+00:002010-12-10T17:54:03.436+00:00I did enjoy Usher, although I haven't read it ...I did enjoy Usher, although I haven't read it for ages. I liked the Gothic feel (but it's definitely dated), and Poe's frequent theme of madness was mixed in there, too. Not my favorite story of his, though--I liked "Tell Tale Heart," "Black Cat," and the one with the mental hospital...can't remember the name of it...Tar and Feather? Something like that?Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-68530025159216826012010-12-10T17:12:35.862+00:002010-12-10T17:12:35.862+00:00Margot: a Mac is almost like learning it all from ...Margot: a Mac is almost like learning it all from the beginning. I can see it is a great computer, but it takes some time to find your way round, restore all your files, programmes, bookmarks etc. <br /><br />Clarissa: I think you´d enjoy The Black Cat. Terrific story with a great twist whereas Usher seems dated. Perhaps if one read it on a dark and stormy winter night?Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-72010486538998050102010-12-10T14:03:49.210+00:002010-12-10T14:03:49.210+00:00I downloaded some Poe.

It's a wonderful psychological mystery that simply doesn't let go. I honestly didn't like <i>Fall of the House of Usher</i> as well, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
