Lesser Known Tales of Sweet Sweet Edgar Allen Poe

Book: Lesser Known Tales of Sweet Sweet Edgar Allen Poe

by: Edgar Allen Poe

Chosen by: Wixie

After a successful 28 hour bath/reading marathon, Wixie won the right to choose the following book, which was accompanied by this statement:

“Make yourselves familiar with the website folks, it could come in handy if things go my way and I get you all alone on an island. When you wake to find Seth coming at you with a splattermasterer and you find yourself armed only with a small spoon, will you get the joke?

Who will hide the next treasure for this band of lucubrating conquistadors? Who will nail the next book up on a tree and declare it the neighborhood god? Whosoever finishes these scrumpiously sinister tales of dread and deduction.

Lesser Known Tales by Sweet Sweet Edgar Allen Poe:

Berenice

The Imp of the Perverse

Mask of the Red Death

Hop-Frog

A Descent into the Maelstrom

The Thousand and Second tale of Scheherazade

Damn you all, how can you just read those few? Read more Poe. Accompany me back to the home of my ancestors, I have a truly fine edition there. Ahhh…. yes the illustrations are rather charming and many of the heroines have the same body-type and penchant for gauzy, clingy fabrics as Aaron. Read Morella and pay no attention to the chains I am affixing to your limbs, my captive whimper flower.”
