I've read Tell-Tale Heart, Masque of the Red Death, Cask Of Amontillado, The Raven, and Pit and the Pendulum.

I didn't quite.... understand Cask of Amontillado, though, I might have to reread that.

The Cask of Amontillado has to be the favorite of all his stories that I've read... with the Tell-Tale Heart coming in second place, then the Raven... then everything else I've read that I can't recall.

We read a lot of his stories in class, which actually inspired me to buy a book of all his works, which I've been trying to read lately but I'm not getting too far with it haha.

Anyway yeah Edgar Allan Poe is amazing.

I have the complete works of E.A. Poe. Love that man's writing. If you're ever in the Richmond, VA area, be sure to check out the Poe Museum. It's nothing spectacular, but it's one of the houses he lived in, with a guided tour and a huge garden to tour.

Wow!!! I didnt know he had a museum!! I think I have to go there now just for that!!!! Poe is one of my all time favorite authors!!! Cask of Amantillado is my favorite so far! and I have his complete works too! some of the best money ive ever spent!!! If you like Poe I would also suggest a short story by Mark Twain, I believe it is called The Jumping Frog! (I could be wrong about the name, but it is something close to that. I dont have the book with me right now! sorry!)
