I have always like to read his books simply because they always captivate my attention. His books are the only ones I will read. It was such a thriller to explore the mind of a mad-man. To read his stories it did more than paint a picture it made it seem as if i were in it. Now all I need is to see the movie of "The Raven"! Just one of his many literary works will be in the big screen.
