My favorite writer and my favorite book. Hello. My favorite writer is Edgar Allan Poe since I was a kid (that time when I didn't read almost anything). I love his tales, the way he tells you a story, the complex language used to it, the darkness in his words and the madness... I love it. My favorite short stories are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat and Dupin's stories (The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mistery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter). I like his poetry too, the rhythm in his poems such as The Raven and Annabel Lee, actually I like all that I 've read from him. Poe was an important writer not just when it comes to Horror as a literary genre, but others genres like Science Fiction and Noir. Even though I like Poe's work, my favorite book is from another author that is Dostoyevski. I'm talking about his book Notes From Underground. The main character is an interesting man, someone who is very aware about his flaws and weaknesses. There's a lot to think about in this book. I've read some goodnovels by Dostoyevski like Crime and Punishment and Brothers Karamazov, both were a huge amount of pages (Notes fomr Underground is pretty short compared to the novels I mentioned ). Thanks in advance for your help.
