Edgar Allan Poe vs Stephen King vs H.P. Lovecraft

[al'Leif Dratoran]

So I found This while looking for so vs material between Poe and H.P. Lovecraft:

 

R1: Who had the darkest past?

 

R2: Who would win in a fist fight? All are in their prime.

 

R3: Best author?

 

R4: Most influential?

 

R5: All their creations fight. Whose win?

Interesting questions! Of the three, I've only read Poe.

I've never read Lovecraft, no real interest to either. I have only read a handful of King's books, loved his older stuff and I still have a ton sitting on my kindle to read. I loved reading Edgar Allan Poe when I was growing up.

Cool, I haven't read much Lovecraft but I love Poe and have read a bit of King's stuff.
