Why should you read Edgar Allan Poe?

Title:
Why should you read Edgar Allan Poe?
Speaker:
Scott Peeples
Description:

The prisoner strapped under a descending pendulum blade. A raven who refuses to leave the narrator's chamber. A beating heart buried under the floorboards. Poe's macabre and innovative stories of gothic horror have left a timeless mark on literature. But just what is it that makes Edgar Allan Poe one of the greatest American authors? Scott Peeples investigates. [TED-Ed Animation by Compote Collective].
