"I have been a fan of Poe since my third grade teacher read a snippet from The Raven to my class. I became so thrilled with the art of rhyming words and creating a story out of it. I purchased The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe and read it endlessly. I have many morbid/dark songs. He was most notable for being that of a morbid/dark poet, short-story and essayist; I would have loved to have met Poe."
