Edgar Allan Poe | The Book's the Thing

Since I had no review to post today, I decided to join Bookshelf Fantasies in the Thursday Quotables meme.

This isn’t actually from a book that I’m reading right now, but today’s #fallbookchallenge post on Instagram was a “favorite classic scary book”. I prefer gothic or atmospheric horror, so I chose Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Poe. That got me thinking about my favorite Poe stories, and this quote that I love:

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”

~from Eleonora by Edgar Allan Poe

#fallbookchallenge day 22 – favorite classic scary book. I remember reading The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado years ago, and I still love Poe! #bookstagram #booklove #reading #edgarallanpoe #scarybook
