About My Poe-etic Writings
A Poe story is forever
Although some people have adapted stories by Edgar Allen Poe to other media, I have yet to stumble across any adaptations that alter the setting or time of the story significantly. I believe that these stories are timeless. On this website, I am posting my adaptations that I have created. It began with a comic adaptation of The Masque of the Red Death that I completed for a Graphic Narratives class. Instead of a lonely castle, I situated the story on the moon, for visual effect. I enjoyed the project so much that I started writing some short stories, also set in the not-too-distant future.
I have written my adaptations in the prose style used by Edgar Allen Poe, because it is one of the features of his stories that I love the most. The extended sentences pull the reader forward, like strolling down a hill, with a gravity that usually seems gentle because of its fluidity, but also promising the peril of a misstep that could result in a tumble.
I hope to demonstrate that the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe should not be relegated to the past.
