This blog centres around the late author Edgar Allen Poe's writing. The quotes reflect his styles and the elements he portrayed in some of his tales. The quotes come from the stories The Pit and the Pendulum, The Black Cat, and The Cask of Amontillado. Poe was a Gothic writer and the dark colours of this blog were chosen to reflect that. The blood red background is bright, but still rather dark in tone and feeling. The pictures with the quotes are, for the most part, very dark and were chosen because of that. The font of quotes on the pictures are lighter to make the quotes easily readable. The absence of music is not for lack of trying, computers and I have a love-hate relationship. If there was music, it would probably be dark piano instrumental, or just the sound of falling rain.
