I can understand if the reading material is controversial, that some parents might feel it's inappropriate. Or if coarse language is present, or if there are sexual tones in the book, etc.

My problem is the 10th grader with nightmares is a highly unlikely scenario. Most 10th graders I know can sleep blissfully after watching any slasher flick on TV. And honestly Corin, can you think of anything in Poe's writings that would induce such traumatic nightmares?

They are spooky and creepy, but not ghastly or ghoulish.

No. That's why it's better for my wife to respond, 'cause I'd say something like "Get your head out of your backside and let your kid grow up..."
