The Devil in the Belfry Edgar Allan Poe Published in 1839 Part 1 of 2 (Note: The Devil in the Belfry is one of Poe’s sillier comedies. For all of you reading it for the first time, know that Vondervotteimittiss is pronounced “Vonder Vhat Time It Is”. Enjoy.)
Poe didn't write a great deal of comedy, but he sure did it well.
