Plus it deals with some pretty heavy aspects of humanity, morality, eternity, etc. as well as giving you a new way to look at, love, and appreciate human beings for their "creature value". And if you want to go deeper than that, you can consider the circumstances under which she wrote the thing...that leads to even deeper levels of those things mentioned. And her book "The Witching Hour" is something of a masterpiece, no matter what genre you consider it in. Ever read any of her straight lit, like "The Feast of All Saints"? You remind me of the pro Longfellow crowd that for years tried to write Poe (Edgar Allan, not our mistress) off as a "mere writer of spooky stories". ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 20:59:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Robert Cobb Subject: Thanks Oregon Psychos Thanks to all the Oregon Psychos who replyed to my last message, hope to see you there. I'll be wearing my AP "If You Were You Would Know" shirt with a tag "Hi my name is Adahlfin" I expect DP to be pretty good as well, kinda dig "Dream On" even though the main riff sounds like it was ripped from Dave Matthews.

I dont know if anyone has heard of ThunderCloud Subs, i know they originated in Austin... anyway, i went there and me and my boyfriend, Mark(coincidentally), came in, it was totally empty and the chick behind the counter went and put in Poe - Haunted, for us to listen to while we ate, very strange because i was listening to that CD in my car on the way to the place. But I wasn't very surprised, Austin always has great music everywhere.... Of course, they played the whole cd through, intro and everything.. Mark had to slap me around to keep me from dancing.. lol... kidding.. stop the violence. ~Lissa ------------------------------ End of angry-psychos-digest V6 #245 ***********************************
