Who’s the better author Stephen King or Edgar Allan Poe

My thoughts (Zack)

- I think the better author is Edgar Allan Poe my reasoning is because he lived during a troubling time where people disliked most of his works and only few liked. His life was filled with sorrrow which gave him inspiration so in a way he took a bad part of his life and transformed it into something better and his known highly today.

My thoughts (Ethan)

-In my opinion, I think that each author can be better, depending in whose perspective.  They also are better at doing different things in their short stories/poems.  If I had to choose between the two authors overall, then I would choose Edgar Allen Poe.  During his time, he used many techniques and devices in his stories to truly emphanize the horror and the detailing points of the story to make it even more frightening.  He was so experienced with this since he had a some bad times during his life, making him look and act dull and dark.  He would then use that emotion to make his stories and make them sound real, like the reader was actually looking over the situations of the poem/story.  Even though Poe succeeded in this, Stephen King also succeeded in other ways when creating his works.
