Allan Poe successfully used a variety of literary techniques to develop the atmosphere in their stories The Tell Tale Heart and A Rose For Emily. Their writing techniques grasp the reader’s attention and create an interesting evocative mood and page turning stories.

Faulkner and Poe use literary techniques such as repetition
