Celebrate the Birth of Modern Horror!
This year marks the 200th birthday of Edgar Allan Poe, who, with stories like "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Pit and the Pendulum" to his credit, is widely considered the first contemporary American horror writer. If you're unsure of how to celebrate dear old Edgar's birthday, we here at FEARnet have a suggestion -- read what our new guest blogger Darrell Schweitzer has to say. Darrell's won the World Fantasy Award and is currently nominated for this year's Bram Stoker Award. And he knows his horror history as well as, well, almost anyone alive. Darrell's been blogging for the last several weeks in FEARnet's Guest House about Poe and his influence on modern horror. So check out what he has to say about the madman, the myth and the legend!
