Eva’s Byte #389: Poe-chers
As Halloween approaches, who can resist poe-ching words penned by one of the masters of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe (1809 – 1849)?
A writer who enjoys interjecting perverse humor in my work, I’m positive I’ve poe-ched these words from “The Raven” for use in my own context: pondered, weak and weary.
Not one to write horror, I enjoy reading it. There has to be plenty of poe-chable inspiration for those Indies who excel at the genre. Take my favorite Poe shorts:
“The Black Cat,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” “The Premature Burial” and “The Cask of Amontillado”.
While I may not write horror, the characters in my Contemporary fiction are haunted by their past. At this point in time, I’ve completed drafting Chapter 20 (1072 words) of my work in progress where “Succumbing to the exhaustive effects of Sam and Reid’s sorrowful chokehold, Gert fell into a deep sleep.”
I’ve begun composing notes for the draft of Chapter 21.
*In the spirit of Halloween, may each of us enjoy the spine-tingling thrills of literary horror rapping, rapping in our mind.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
