Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows any SK books which contain references or similarities to a poem or preferably short story by Edgar Allan Poe. I know there's the Masque of the Red Death, which pretty much formed a basis for the Shining (ballroom, clock etc.), but are there any other books?
I'm asking this because I have to write a huge thesis this and coming schoolyear on a literally ANY subject I want. Being a King fan, I chose him as my subject but my teacher suggested I compared him to Poe. My initial idea was to research the following: How did King put knowledge and appreciation of Poe (Masque of the Red Death) to work in The Shining? Unfortunately, this was already done by someone, so I was forced to choose two other works to compare.
My time is running out, since I only have this week left to hand in a good plan for my research! Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated!
