Gratuitous Halloween Literary Posting

In case you're looking for a good short story to while away tomorrow evening between assaults by sticky and begrimed children on your door bell, of course you can't go far wrong in pulling out some Poe.

However, if you're interested in going ever so slightly off the beaten path, might I suggest Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Feathertop," a story that moved me greatly when I first was introduced to it in college.

Me, I'm thinking more of Lovecraft -- who took Poe and ran with it.

The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath --
maybe the best story in English that nobody has ever read.

Well, except me. And maybe Ace.
