 I am Arabella Rose Porter.

My favorite story is The Cask of Amontillado and my favorite poem is The Bells. The Bells introduced my to my favorite word in the dictionary.

 Tintinnabulation: (n) the sound that bells make.

There's nothing complicated about it in my opinion. ^^ It's just a tad more organized is all. Just another discussion. You don't have to comment in the discussion if you wouldn't like to. I'm just creating a different option. I just figured that it would be fun to break some ice.

Hello, I'm Ivonne "Ivy" Lawrence and I am, as Ara will tell you, an avid fan of Mr. Poe's works.

Oh goodness, these are a difficult pair of questions to answer. Hm. 

1. "Murders At The Rue Morgue" or "Hop-Frog" By all accounts, I love C. Auguste Dupin as a character.

2. It's a cross between "Dream Within A Dream" and "Alone". I tend to favor his poetry over his fiction nowadays, so this was a very difficult thing to decide.

Now that I have educated myself to the ways of the message board. I see that it is not as complicated as it made me believe. live and learn.

 I am Dr Alexander Tarr.

Without a doubt,Annabel Lee. is my favorite poem. Reading it for the first time, some thirty plus,years ago. the feeling of love and loss and sadness I felt, made me weep. I am still moved by it to this day.

Story. this is a more difficult question to answer.

I'll say, The Black Cat. for it is the story that I find most Horrifying

[Arabella Porter]

 It is a frightening one. The Black Cat makes my lungs hurt when I read it.

[Dr.Alexander Tarr]

Consumption. was a horrible way to die. indeed.
