#edgar allan poe was a racist

[aceredshirt13]

the virgin H. P. Lovecraft comparing a black guy to an animal in his gay necromancer story when being violently racist wasn’t even plot-relevant vs. the Chad Edgar Allen Poe, in his gay detective story eighty years earlier, having Dupin specifically state that the orangutan’s screeches weren’t any African or Asian language in what could otherwise have been the world’s easiest racist allegory

[fromankyra]

my headcannon is that everyone in gotham more or less agrees that one of the Wayne family/associates is a bat, and that none of the rest of the family knows about it, but jo one can agree which Wayne or which bat

[strangestcase]

I’m trying to start reading gothic literature, but I don’t really know where to start. What books in the genre would you recommend?

Cracks knuckles.

Start off with a selection of Edgar Allan Poe short stories. There's a reason he's considered the best Gothic writer. Most if not all of his fiction falls squarely into the gothic genre, even his non-horror production. The more you read the better, but The Fall of the House of Usher is one of the best representatives of the Gothic you can find. Also check out his poetry and scientific essays, if you can, the guy was a real Renaissance man. He also wrote one novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, which, along with Lovecraft's In the Mountains of Madness and Cambell's Who goes there? aka The Thing From Another World constitutes some sort of "trilogy" (since each story was based on the one prior).

Then you can move on to other short story selections. Short stories are easier to read and digest, I think, and plenty of fun. I recommend the following authors:

J. Sheridan Le Fanu- Irish writer that took a page from Irish folklore and legends. Madam Crowl's Ghost is a favorite of mine.

R. Louis Stevenson- usually a children's author, Stevenson liked to merge genres and used pretty interesting concepts for his horror production.

Guy de Maupassant- he was commisioned to write, so he often recycled entire concepts and plots, leaving us with many different versions of the same story (and a lot of heavy-handed morals. god bless).

Charles Dickens- predictably enough, he specialized in ghost stories

M. R. James- James' short horror stories have some of the most interesting monster concepts I've ever read, from a haunted dollhouse that recreates the events of a real-life haunting, to a possessed pattern print.

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer- little man puts the "Dark Romanticism" in, well, Dark Romanticism. If you know Spanish, do yourself a favor and read his short stories untranslated.

Elizabeth Gaskell- wrote plenty of good horror stories, and often from a female perspective, which is always a treat.

Bram Stoker- his stuff is very hit or miss, but when he hits, he hits hard. Read The Judge's House for a very nasty ghost story and then toss Stoker into the garbage because everything else he wrote is either comically racist or just dumb.

And now as for specific must-read short stories:

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman- maybe the true monster was medical misogyny all along! (Obvious content warning for graphic medical abuse, misogyny, and domestic abuse.)

What was it? by Fritz O'Brien- short story in the vein of "hey wouldnt it be fucked up if this happened?" Don't read if you have sleep paralysis.

The Open Door by Margaret Oliphant- a missing child, a mysterious door, and forces beyond human comprehension.

The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood- would you spend a full night in a haunted house? (Very paranoia inducing, it's such a treat.)

The Ghostly Rental by Henry James- in which the "ghosts" aren't actually ghosts, but something far, far weirder and cooler.

The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs- this tear-wrenching and suspenseful little tale will forever remind you to be careful what you wish for...

The gothic literature "classics", as in, full lenght novels and short novellas, can be a bit difficult to read due to length. My personal recommendations are:

Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley- a foundational text of science fiction with a nestled narrative frame and themes of personal and social responsability, bodily autonomy, and freedom. Young alchemist Victor Frankenstein attempts to blur the line between life and death, and unwittlingly sets off his downfall in the process by creating a humanoid creature he can't control and won't respond to. CW child death, death by axphysiation, incest, description of unsanitary environments.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by R. Louis Stevenson- it is considered the first modern psychological horror story, and, while it's a mere sixty pages long, each and every one of them is packed with a dark revelation about tight-laced Victorian society. When his lifelong friend writes up a suspicious will leaving everything to a stranger, a lawyer decides to look into it, leading him down a spiral of discoveries all related to a disturbing experiment. CW suicide, graphic descriptions of violence, drug abuse.

Carmilla by J. Sheridan le Fanu- very much a classic vampire tale, with an interesting sapphic spin, in which the predatory lesbian trope bleeds, pun intended, into a twisted love story. Laura is a young girl who considers herself prim and proper, until the day the charming Carmilla stops by the family manor claiming to be her soulmate, sparking off a romance marked by a series of strange events. CW implied sexual assault, gore.

The Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde- I consider it an early attempt at daylight horror, and while the plot is mostly romantic drama (canonically bisexual romantic drama!), the descriptions make everything else worthwhile. Beautiful model Dorian Gray's life is changed when he befriends a cunning aristocrat, which prompts him to wish to remain young forever while his portrait ages in his place... and his wish is granted. CW extreme antisemitism, suicide, graphic descriptions of gore and violence.

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James- a ghostly classic which is marked by its ambiguity and the opacity of its plot, all which make it all the more disturbing, if a little hard to follow at times. Bly Manor has appointed a new nanny to take care of a pair of twins, but soon enough, she finds out not all is well in the house, and a dark force might be preying on the children. CW implied incest, implied child abuse.

The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen- technically an example of very early cosmic horror, sitting at the intersection between Poe and Lovecraft, and clearly influenced by late Victorian scientific advancements. Some particularly gruesome deaths lead a group of men to slowly uncover the past of a one Helen Vaughan, and nature of a procedure performed on her mother before her conception. CW implied child abuse, suicide, sexual harrassment, human experimentation, extreme intersexism.

And those would be it!

Hazbin Hotel character's favorite Author(s) headcanons and why(because I’m a book/history nerd) Part 1.

Alastor: Ambrose Bierce

A guy who didn’t just write horror/mystery stories but also did journalism and satire? Of course a radio show host/serial killer would like this guy.

They both like critiquing the status quo.

Visited Louisiana so maybe Alastor heard people meeting him or something (fanfic idea).

Was not as racist, misogynistic, or classist as many others in his time period (I.E. why I think Alastor, a creole gentleman, wouldn’t be a huge fan of Lovecraft despite his powers being similar to that of the author’s monsters/gods).

Husk: Ken Kesey or William Melvin Kelly

Basically people who rebel against the status quo.

Younger/sober Husk probably reads Kelly (strong yet subtle critique over societies biggest issues) but when he gets older and more jaded/drunk he likes the tragedies of Ken Kesey ("Society is a fucking mess and so are the people in it").

Niffty: Assorted Harlequin romance novels and (maybe) manga

She was 1950s housewife who was a hopeless romantic…Don’t think I need to explain much if you know about these novels.

Also don’t think she cares about who the author was for them, she just remembers her favorites.

I think after she ended up in hell was when she got access to Manga. Since if she grew up in the U.S. she wouldn't have access to it. Manga came to there in the 80s.

Extra:

Rosie: Edgar Allan Poe

• Has similar tastes to Alastor but Poe is more in her era than Bierce. Also Poe has a lot of romantic tragedies that I think Rosie would like.

In curious to know what are your favourite bsd literature (if you do read any) cuz I'm looking for some recommendations TYYY

ooo, interesting question .ᐟ i have a couple, though sadly i haven't read many by our lead protagonists. many of these were stories i read throughout my education, but i'm hoping to expand my library, so maybe i'll have some more recommendations someday .ᐟ

the great gatsby—is short in terms of classic novels and easy-to-read. has really interesting themes about capitalism, the american dream, and morality.

crime and punishment—this one is an absolute doozy, and i'd only recommend it if you like reading through a bunch of different details. i personally enjoyed it (i'm a little biased)

the call of cthulhu—this one is incredibly interesting, and does a fascinating job of capturing different horror elements. but a giant warning (which can be applied to many of these authors) is with racism. the irl lovecraft was known to be incredibly racist, and it translates into many of his works.

the overcoat—this short story deals with many themes of social justice and alienation. the irl gogol was said to have inspired dostoevsky, so some of their works share an interesting connection in similar themes.

dracula—this is an epistolary novel (or a collection of letters), which helps to portray many horror elements in a fascinating and suspenseful manner.

almost anything by edgar allan poe is a treat. some of my personal favorites would be "the tell-tale heart," "the masque of the red death," and "the cask of amontillado." they're all fairly short reads, and they're perfect for halloween.

Highway Hypnosis

Chapter 5: Heimlich

I think there’s a reason people tend to gravitate toward Edgar Allan Poe when they’re about thirteen years old. They feel seen by him, and their feeling is correct; he was a grown man with the emotional maturity of a middle schooler. The entitlement, the shallowly wounded sense of self, the absolute certainty that one day the world would pay for its slights against his pride; sure, he gets you. The man spent his entire life wishing he was somewhere he wasn’t. It’s a sentiment that gets less relatable with every choice you make–every time you exert control over something in your life, you get further and further from Poe’s ideology. Damn, though. It’s awfully tempting to backslide.

I’m technically working, though I’m really just leaning against the counter at the cafe, flipping through an anthology of Poe’s short fiction and poetry that I found between the refrigerator and the kitchen sink. I haven’t read anything of his since I was nineteen and forced to read The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket for a class I had no interest in. The novel itself made as good a case as any against Poe, flipping arbitrarily between long, drawn-out descriptions of boat mechanics and comparatively more exciting, though often wildly racist, battle sequences. The titular character was clearly a stand-in for Poe himself: a blatant masochist who hurls himself bodily into the jaws of danger for the chance to live out his fantasy of American masculinity. If the plot was even ten percent less contrived, I think Poe might have had a massive hit on his hands; as it stands though, Pym has become a veritable punching bag for bored and hypercritical undergrads. Not even the men of Evergreen, rugged and adventure-starved as they are, can be bothered to pick up a copy.

I can’t be quite as harsh on Poe’s short stories. The one I’m reading now, William Wilson, is actually scaring the shit out of me–I can never say so out loud, just in case Poe’s ghost is somewhere lurking in search of validation, but there’s just something about the whispering doppelganger that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It reminds me of the summers I spent here, when Len and I used to have “Fright Nights” once a week; he’d draw the curtains and douse the lamps, lighting candles and lanterns so that the shadows of his various oddities were cast high on the walls, and he’d let me pick an episode of the X-Files to watch from his VHS box set. Of all the episodes I saw (discounting the one about the family of inbreeders who kept their mother under the bed–that one he wouldn’t let me watch until I was in college with my own Netflix account), there was one that simultaneously thrilled and terrified me in almost exactly the same way as William Wilson. The agents are in Florida for some kind of conference and get waylaid tracking down an invisible forest creature that’s evolved past humanity–tall and thin, running at unbelievable speeds on the balls of its feet, blending in with the foliage. It’s uncanny and exciting, like looking in a mirror and seeing something not quite human looking back at you. Like William Wilson.

It occurs to me briefly, as I sift absently through the pages, that I have become the type of person one might read about in these stories, or watch on a Fright Night. Isolated, alone, hapless. The perfect victim, in a lot of ways. It’s getting harder to feel sorry for myself, though, and harder still when I compare my life to Edgar Allan Poe’s. Things just happened to him, or at least that’s what he thought. I’m making choices; I’m choosing to work, and when I’m not working I’m choosing to go out and explore, or decorate my home, or sit on my front porch just because. I am making the active decision to enjoy myself, a thought that would have done us out of a lot of classic horror if it had ever crossed Poe’s mind. I am trying, so goddamned hard.

“You in there?” is the familiar question that breaks me from my reverie, and I lower the book to look up into the face of Jasper Stevens, partially obscured by his tousled hair as he tilts his head down to meet my eyes. I’m somewhere in there, thanks for asking.

“What can I get you?” I ask, straightening with a smile as he shifts his weight from foot to foot.

“Something cold,” he replies, “dealer’s choice.”

“Arnold Palmer, coming up,” I say, accepting his payment before he chooses a seat at the bar. He watches me work with the same quiet, contemplative gaze he uses on me when I visit the general store. There’s not much actual work to be done; ice, lemonade, and tea. I fold my arms on the bar and lean forward after setting the drink down, and he mirrors my posture. “So,” I say, “what’s new?”

He cocks his head to the side. “You, still.”

“I guess that’s true,” I say. It’s been two days since the last time I saw Jasper, when he crushed my soul back into my body.

Jasper takes a thoughtful sip of his drink before speaking again. “Would I be correct in assuming,” he says, “that your shift ends in approximately three minutes?”

I check my watch. He’s right, of course. “You would,” I reply, “Janie should be back any minute now.”

“Good. Come to the river with me?”

“Yeah, okay,” I say, for the first time knowing that I’m saying yes to a whole person, knowing that I’m a whole person myself.

Jasper smiles–really, I mean it–and says: “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever actually been in here before.”

HALLOW-LEE-N movie review Oct 11th : The Oblong Box (1969)

An adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe, and Vincent Price's debut on this review list. And a tiny 2 second cameo that nonetheless nearly made yell COLIN JEAVONS??? out loud.

This is the story of two brothers, Edward and Julian. Edward has been tortured and disfigured while in Africa, and has subsequently gone mad and is kept in the attic by his brother.

Two guys have a plan to break Edward out though, by enlisting the help of an African "witch doctor". He sends a pill to Edward via sarbacane to make him sleep a deathlike sleep à la Juliet Capulet. Thus Edward is declared dead, shut in a coffin and buried. Somehow the scheming duo had not forseen this happening.

Edward's coffin gets stolen and brought to a doctor practicing experiments on bodies, played by Lee. Edward basically blackmailed Dr. Newhart into fostering him for the time being while he enacts his Revenge, while wearing a red cloak over his face.

Adapting Edgar Allan Poe and trying to make it less racist is difficult, so I can appreciate that they tried, but methinks they could have tried just a bit harder. At least they gave the message that what happened was the brothers' own fault for being colonizers and slavers.

Lee delivers a very tasty death scene, and Price is always delightful. Too bad that some of the key scenes in this movie were filmed in complete darkness where I couldn't see a thing.

Overall a fairly enjoyable movie, dark as Poe can be. 6/10 very good costuming too.

Frankenstein: incest, murder, dead beat dad

Edgar Allan Poe: Murder, animal abuse

Lovecraftian horror: xenophobia, classism, racism, murder

Harry Potter: the author is a TERF and just has so many hidden bigoted themes throughout the series

Warriors: murder, child grooming, misogyny, racism

Little nightmares: murder, human trafficking

Hazbin hotel/helluva boss: murder, s/a, cannibalism, homophobia

Creepypasta: murder, romanticization of abuse, s/a

Unless you want to harass me for non TCOAAL media. Then honestly pop off. I haven’t seen anyone mad about cringe creepypasta in a while. I haven’t been personally harassed for it but if you hate it honestly I’m not mad about that
