Edgar allan poe?

Question:

Edgar allan poe?

which of his short stories would be best to read to kids at halloween,scary but not terrifying!!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I don't know about that one. Edgar Allan Poe writes very rich Victorian-era literature; very hard for contemporary readers to grasp, especially children; however, if you must have Poe I recommend "The Tell-tale Heart." The story is a short and scary one (not terrifying), and would put the kids in that spooked, Halloween mood that makes for some really memorable experiences.
