Watching "Pagemaster" and this was the conversation that happened between Alex and I...
(Me) Fantasy and Adventure are kinda' the same thing... Kinda'...
(Alex) But There's Adventure in Horror...
(Me) Not necessarily.
(Alex) ...that's true. Like that Edgar Allen Poe story where that guy is in the house, and then there's lightning and then the house is gone.
(Me) That wasn't Poe. That was HP Lovecraft.
(Alex) Oh. That's right.
(Me) A good example of a Poe with no adventure is "The Raven".
(Alex) Bird is in my house.
(Me) I should have closed that window.
(Alex) Then I had this party. Plague showed up.
(Me) ...I really should have closed that window.
(Alex) That stinky cat keeps coming back. I hate that cat.
(Me) ...Probably should get around to closing that window.
(Alex) My relative thought his wife died... But she didn't.
(Me) ...Maybe it was a draft from that open window.
(Alex) Then I had some really good wine, and bricked this annoying guy behind my wall.
(Me) ...I think I'll close that window now.
*Laughs* ...Ah, Poe stories are fun. You read them, and someone either gets bricked up, or someone wasn't actually dead, or diseases are personified... It's all good.
Visit your local library and pick up a Poe today! *thumb up, DING!*
