Picture of the Week

So here's how it'll break down (at least until I think of something better). I need a little structure here so I'm divising a weekly schedule. Kinda like your TV, you've got something for different nights of the week. This won't be nearly as interesting but the idea's the same.


Monday = Picture. I'll scour the internet to find something revelevant, weird, or at the least mildly amusing. Yeah, you can find this a hundred other places, but what are you going to do?

Tuesday = ... Well, I haven't go that far yet. Can you tell I'm making this up as I go?

January 19th is Edgar Allan Poe's Birthday. Pretty important as far as American Literature goes, even though he wasn't exactly lauded in his own time. Important works include: The Raven, Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, The House of Usher, William Wilson.

Anthologies are easy to find. Most of his writing is quite short so oyu can get it all without a huge investment. I endured a lengthy study of Poe in University and was surprised by most of his writing. If you enjoy the macabre, give it a chance.

"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality." — Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849).
