Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th century's most widely read author and poet, is one of America's most renowned storytellers. He rose to popularity during the American Romantic Movement in literature, when feelings of apprehension, terror, and awe were strongly emphasized in writing. Some of his most famous works include the long poem "The Raven" and the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher," both of which support Poe's status as a master of mystery and the macabre.

Quotes to include on the cards and in the journal :

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who only dream by night.
We loved with a love that was more than love.
I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion.
I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.
