Fun "fact": despite not being any kind of a sports fan (I'd rather play than watch), I almost became a fan of the Baltimore Ravens when I heard they were named after Poe's poem because he is a Baltimore native. Almost.
"The Lottery" and it's imagery have stuck with me since I first read it in college. Phenomenal bit of writing. For Stephen King, I haven't liked many of his books but his short stories can pack a punch. "The Lawnmower Man" is super creepy.
What to Read Next: Classic Halloween Short Stuff
“Don’t read this if you’re into cats” should be the subtitle for The Black Cat.
“a couple of sloppy old drunks” 10/10 (I have his collection too and this is one of my faves as well!!)
