Ok, so I am in highschool and for my english class, we have to write a short story similar to those of Edgar Allen Poe. The thing is, I dont really like the horror/scary type of movies/books/etc. so I need some ideas on a plot line, setting, characters, etc...All I know so far is that someone is gonna get killed and that there is more than 2 characters...Anyways, any ideas will be helpful, Thanks!

I have read a few of his short stories like "Black Cat" and a few others...I know his style but its hard for me to make a horror story when i am not as familiar with the genre.

If you've never read Poe, it will be pretty hard to copy his style. Start there and borrow from experiences in your life, subjects you are familiar with, to fit into a story.
