Psychological horror story

Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was an American horror stories writer, poet, critic and editor who was born in january 19, 1808 in Boston, Massachusetts.  He was also known by the nickname of: Father of the Detective story. Allan Poe became famouous thanks to his dark, mysterious and evocative short stories and poems; some of them are now literary clasics.
He married his cousin Virginia when she was 13, in 1836; but she passed away in 1847, after she became sick of tuberculosis. He died in 1949 in a great distress and, although nobody certainly knows what was the causer of it, there are lots of theories.

Some of his most well known writtings are:

Short stories: Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, The Black Cat, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Fall of the House of Usher and  The Tell-Tale Heart.

Poems: The Raven and Annabel Lee.

Comic relief

Comic relief What's the comic relief ? A  relief from the emotional tension especially of a drama that is provided by the interposition of a comic episode or element. Why is it used in horror films? This type of humor is used to transport the spectator from an unreal situation to a real one, to stop for a moment a scary scene and help people overcoming that horrible image or event.

My World 1

Music, an important part of me In 2013, when I was ten, I began singing in a youth choir called: "Les Veus del Flúvia" after the director of it, who was also our music teacher in the school, asked me and other people to join it. I don't remember if I was good at singing before, but, after six years, I think I've improved a little since then, even if I’m still nervous when I have to sing in a performance. I like being part of it, because we sometimes do benefit concerts for some associations and because I’ve learned a lot about music since then.

My World 4

What inspires me? In my case, I often get inspired by watching  TED Talks, documentaries, videos in You Tube where people share their stories; by reading or sharing opinions with my sister. For example, I sometimes watch Sergio Begueria's videos and listen to his podcasts, where he encourages students to reach their dreams by organizing their day by day lifes in a better way and advises them about how to feel more productive and less stressed.  About my hobbies, I sometimes search online draws of architecture and, taking parts of lots of them, I create my own sketches.
