Irving versus Poe

   I am not sure which author I prefer. Both write some type of horror/ scary story but Irving deals with situations that couldn't possibly happen whereas Poe deals with peoples' minds and situations that could occur. Generally when I read Poe's stories, my brain tends to think about it longer. After reading Poe, I picture circumstances in my head and then I can't get away from them because they're in my head and not real. With Irving, I thought about the story and did not conjure any pictures in my head. One thing I do like about Poe's stories is that some situations that he wrote about have and do happen which makes it so interesting because then you might be able to figure out why someone did what they did.
