I like Poe, it's sad that he wasn't appreciated at all while he was alive - he got famous after his death.
I love the way he writes, especially the one called "the telling heart" (I think, it has a different name in swedish). You can really feel how paranoid this guy is that people will find out he killed this other guy and hid him under the floor.
Right now I'm actually reading Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and after that I'll read Bram Stoker's "Dracula", got them for christmas. :)
