βThy soul shall find itself along βmid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stoneβ
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy:β
β’spirits of the dead.
pickMy all time favourite author, it‘s always fun reading his mind work while drinking hot chocolate.
βAnd so being young and dipped in folly, I fell in love with melancholyβ.
βI could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone; and all i loved I loved alone.β
Love the picture... wonder who put it together... Poe what a great mind ππ
"The Fall of the House of Usher" was not my favorite school required reading. I'm glad I reread it because this story gives me the chills! ??

We made it!! Cedar Grove Mansion is so beautiful that words nor pictures can do it justice!!! But you guys know I will try!!! Iβm so intrigued with itβs history and that itβs supposedly haunted!! Lol The tagged book is my first purchase from the local bookstore! Probably not the best choice considering... π±π± I placed the book on cisterns that provide water to the entire estate...

Couldn‘t find the right title in the Litsy database. Anyway, finally getting around to posting a Christmas gift from my BFF (aka wife). βΊοΈ
Made this bookmark as a Christmas present. Though it took a bit longer than I expected...
En route to Tennessee! #booktoteswap

My antique copy is currently in a moving box over 3 hours away. Poe wrote quite a few poems and short stories focusing on narrators with #LostLoves, so he was the first author I thought of when I heard this prompt. Also, I'm pretty sure either he or one of his critics once said "The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world." #JubilantJuly #LostLove @RealLifeReading
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality "
- Edgar Allen Poe
He is the king of such torturous beautifully painful poetry ?? Ultimate fav!!! Let's face it like Edgar Allen Poe said so perfectly " If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul ; you haven't experienced poetry "
New reads I picked up today. Super excited about these !! #firstpost #edgarallanpoe #hplovecraft
My pick for #unreliablenarrator for #MayBookFlowers is ANYTHING by Poe. He has to be one of my favorite authors of all time. A favorite memory from my junior high school days was a trip we took to a university that had put on Fall Of The House of Usher as a play, and it was magnificent.
I feel like all the narrators are unreliable because the main character usually starts with, "You will think I'm crazy, but I'm not."
Just some light bedtime reading with the pupper ππππ»πΆ couldn't find my actual book in the app βΉοΈ
#firsthorrorbook #allhallowsread my first was a book of short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. "William Wilson" was my favorite! the photo is a screen grab from my iPoe app. if you haven't seen these apps, you should totally check them out. it's a fun way to update the old classics. there are even more different authors now but i think the Poe ones are the best ??β οΈ????
Kaysen will not be 1 until the 20th, but we did her photos today since we will be having her first bday party on her actual birthday. The book theme this month is Edgar Allan Poe and the featured stories are The Black Cat, The Raven, The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and Pendulum, and Tell-tale Heart. #EdgarAllanPoe #BabiesOfLitsy #bookishphotos
This book might contain the only short stories I have. I'm not into them in general but a lot of you have posted intriguing titles I might check out.

Apologies to y'all and Poe:
Once upon a night not dreary, while I pondered ebay, weary,
Over many a quaint and curious clutch I was bored,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly on screen came a sight,
As of some thing gently rapping, right at my heart's door.
'Tis a vision, I muttered, Only this, and nothing more.
Though no velvet violet lining, this handbag is quite shining, and twas real and in my price range, buy it now or nevermore.
Finished our nook in April. Now we live in it!!!
