Well not really, he was actually a manic depressive, drunkard who was obsessed with dead people and dead things, and I don't think he went to that many parties. I never really did like his work because he is always so depressing. I could never understand why so many english teachers love him; I think he is like "the emporers new clothes". Because his work is over fifty years old his copyrights no longer exist I can post his stories and poems on the internet modified. Also all of the works I have written are PARODIES of Edgar Allan Poe. He never wrote the stories posted here but I have modified them. My versions are much more upbeat, (and better). Edgar Poe is a creep who had a talent to write eloquently. I don't liked his work because the main character is always afraid to face his problems and he would rather accept death over pain. I feel sorry for the problems that he faced in his life but I think he should have faced them and solved them.
