Everything about Poe is interesting to the literate:

"Ye who read are still among the living, but I who write shall have
long since gone my way into the region of shadows."

To the illiterate or near-illiterate, I suppose it doesn't matter.



Poe was interesting. Supposedly his niece lived in a house where my
childhood home was built. She piled a bunch of tires under the house
and torched it with herself inside. Maybe nuts ran in the family.

Call me illiterate. I think he was creepy.

He certainly was creepy. Lots of "artists" are creepy. So what? He sure
had a great "ear" for the English language.
