“The Haunted Palace” by Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe is famous for “The Raven,” but many of his other works are just as spooky—if not more so. “The Haunted Palace” is a dark and beautiful exploration of how shades of the past haunt even the most luscious landscapes, “the greenest of our valleys.” This is a haunted house horror story in poetic form, a compelling exploration of “old time entombed.”
