...Poe was one of the masters of atmosphere. I don't know how anyone can say Poe isn't scary anymore; maybe the anxieties of our age have changed, but speaking for myself, when I read Poe, I feel every clammy fog and hear every telltale heartbeat.

As for what scares me...it genuinely varies. I'd actually rather discuss it over AIM, if you can catch me ^_^;
