    I was a little girl, in elementary school -6th grade to be exact. There, in one of our many English classes, we had to do book reports. One of my classmates asked me to switch books with her because she just didn’t like the “Poe” man.

    We switched books, and my first intro to Edgar was “The Tell Tale Heart”! Scared me witless, but from there, I searched more of his works with never a disappointing moment. Coincedentally, one of his homes is right here in The Bronx, NY, where I live. From then, at the tender age of 11 years, I was hooked on this macabre little man, with the captivating, haunting way with his pen. During the 60′s, I’d go to the movies where Vincent Price portrayed many of Poe’s characters.

    Now, at 47 years later, he still remains my favorite!

    Oddly enough, my daughter is named, what?? RAVEN.
