Yep. Def. odd.

Since we're on Poe, I happen to enjoy Alan Parsons Project Raven. Seems fitting - sad, mysterious, haunting interpretation.

Poe certainly was competent in the horror and weirdness genre. His poems and prose are standards in high school literature. “For the love of God, Montresor” (The Cask of Amontillado). The love of God was possibly only an abstract, distant thing to Poe during his known life. Did the tragedy of his final days finally bring Poe kneeling in a plea for mercy to God’s throne before he passed away? That’s something only God, and Poe, knows. Sometimes God works a save by allowing a person their fill of hell on earth.
