Personal message from the site's author

Hi there,

This is a lovely little text file from the humble author
of this website.

The poem is a masterpiece. Yet I encourage you to read
the short stories and the other poems as well. You could
also check out the movies directed by Roger Corman.

The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)
The Pit and the Pendulum (1961)
The Premature Burial (1962)
Tales of Terror (1962)
The Haunted Palace (1963)
The Raven (1963)
The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)

(Psst...None of these are on YouTube and I'm no movie fan.)

If you have any suggestions, great links or translations,
feel free to get in touch to make the web more awesome, or
just say thanks. It'd make me feel good and that this site
was worth making. :) Cheers!

Best wishes from Hungary

Shall this picture hide the secret, for those who dare to
take the journey into the deep darkness of the past. For where
his name begins, the shortest of all 3, the one that consists
of no more letters either, right after lies the beginning of his
grand tale, Uttered by a Rotten Lover, to abbreviate thy foolish nightmare.
