Apparently it was an influence on Jules Verne and thus Georges Melies (the French were always huge Poe fans... see Charles Baudelaire, for example).

Liked the Tell Tale Heart, Black Cat, & Fall of the House of Usher. Progressive author for his lifetime.
My reference text for all things Poe, finally out of storage. IIRC the editors have some crazy argument that all critics of Poe are missing the fact that all his work is intended as satire - or something like that. I'll have to read this again.
خیلی با هاش حال کردم البته باید بگم من اول ادامه ای رو که ژول ورن برای این کتاب با اسم ابولهول یخ ها نوشته خواندم بعد خود این کتاب را
Miluju jeho povídky o temných zákoutích lidské duše, zvráceném jednání postrádajícím logiku... Podle Poea je tou nejděsivější bytostí na světě právě člověk samotný. Hm, něco na tom bude.
