Edogawa Ranpo
I had to read Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" in an ESL class and I hated it. Then I learned the famous Japanese writer, Edogawa Ranpo, named himself after Poe. You see? Edogawa Ranpo and Edgar Allan Poe. So, I had been avoiding Rampo until recently.
I found that my favorite narrator on YouTube, Hitoshi Kubota, recites Rampo's works, too. So, I tried out one and I enjoyed it. So, I listened to more and more. It wasn't only because of Kubota's voice, but also because Ranpo wrote not to scare his readers too much. But people are talking about Rampo, saying his works are eerie and scary. I am a wimp to see them for myself, but I think Kubota is carefully choosing works for his style.
Here is the playlist of Edogawa Ranpo's works by Hitoshi Kubota's recitation: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxIhO7CmGUEmzkw0rZ55oMIzuf1UfuIkM&si=8pE_MUMdv4sNN6Xk
江戸川乱歩
ESLの授業でポーの「告げ口心臓」を読まされましたが、私はたまりませんでした。その後、かの有名な江戸川乱歩はポーの名にちなんでそのペンネームをつけたと聞きました。ご存知ですよね？江戸川乱歩とエドガー・アラン・ポーのこの類似性。それで、私はつい最近まで乱歩を避けていました。
ところが、YouTubeで知って贔屓にしている窪田等さんが乱歩も読んでいたので、試しにひとつ聞いてみたら、楽しく聞けました。それで、他にももっと聞いてみました。窪田さんの声だけではなくて、乱歩も読者を怖がらせ過ぎないように配慮があるのです。しかし、巷では乱歩は不気味で怖いと話しています。私は弱虫で自分で確かめられませんが、窪田さんがご自身のスタイルに合う作品を丹念に選んでいるのだと思います。

"Talk" or "are talking" both work.

I was misspelling Ranpo, huh..XD

It's understandable! It's spelled "Ranpo" but most people probably do say "Rampo."

Overall, great job!
I would not have made the connection even seeing their English names next to each other, but when I read Poe's name in katakana, it all clicked. Thank you for making my day with this random, amusing fact.
