Gothic

Just a quick shout out on one of my favorite poems.  The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe was first published with his name attributed to it on this day in 1845.  Very haunting and very Gothic.  Anyway, if you’d like to read it, go here.  If reading isn’t your thing, you can find a recording on Librivox here.  If you want to see a video of Vincent Price reading The Raven, go down to the bottom of the wikipedia page on the poem and you’ll find it under external links/video.  He does a dramatic reading of the poem, not literal, but hey it’s Vincent Price!  And if you want to see the best adaptation of The Raven ever, go here for The Simpson’s Halloween special version.  So, if you like really depressing, gothic poems, enjoy!!
