The new version of "The Cask of Amontillado" in particular surprised me, as did changing the important ending of "Metzengerstein."<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your recommendation of Poe's humor works - I reiterate the recommendation, more specifically with my favorites: "X-ing a Paragrab" and "Never Bet the Devil Your Head."Rob Velellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284492589098267999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146591810616867072.post-23633390754029021252009-03-14T19:23:00.000-06:002009-03-14T19:23:00.000-06:00True, Sven.
