That is an abominable question you are asking me to answer!
I'd have to say Poe because his work touches me very firmly with the range of emotions and textures he probes with provocative props, Lovecraft is just as deadly to walk around in, you feel like you're being followed whenever you blink and that They are coming for you, whoever it is this time... I find Poe heavier to deal with on a regular basis because it touches more fragile places that's my short consideration!
Falling leaves or falling into leaves?
