Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous American authors. I remember reading some of his works as a child and feeling the language spread terror.
His was a style, not of gore, but of anticipated suffering. The Pit and the Pendulum stuck with me, as did The Cask of Amontillado. But I think the one that I liked the best was The Raven.
One of my favorite albums. Not a bad track on it.
Alan Parsons really captures the Poe mood.
I’ve always liked Parsons. Got the “I Robot” album in vinyl around here somewhere…
