Poe is excellent. If you have not done so, take some time to study the man, he has quite an interesting history. As you can imagine he is often defined as a tragic figure and opium addict. Opinions vary on his addictions. Many years ago I was fortunate enough to see Jonathan Frid (of Dark Shadows/Barnabas Collins fame) in a one-man stage performance portraying Poe. Apologizes for not remembering the play's title

Anyway, I don't quite know how this has happened, but I'm stuck in the middle of two books right at the moment, WOLVES OF THE CALLA and WORLD WAR Z. So far both have been excellent.

In the meantime, I have finished THE ASSAULT ON REASON by Al Gore and THE DaVINCI CODE by Dan Brown. Not horror, but both were excellent books. Most folks here are probably somewhat familiar with THE DaVINCI CODE. I have not seen the movie, but I'm told the book is far more satisfying. If you like stories concerning the evolution and history of religion or DaVinci conspiries this will be up your alley.
