Happy Birthday to that lyrical lord of lurid literature, Edgar Allan Poe! The most celebrated master of the macabre, Poe’s terror tales and petrifying Poe-try have thrilled and chilled everyone with a love of the eerie. In the realm of ho-rror, he is the most frequently adapted author, inspiring everything from a successful series of Corman films to a segment in the first Simpsons Halloween Special. For his innumerable contributions to our beloved genre, our tell-tale hearts beat for this storied storyteller. Quoth the Raven… well, you know.
