Team Edgar or Team Nathaniel?

I am, by far, team Edgar! I love reading his stories. They are so suspenseful and they are filled with action. My favorite stories that were written by him are The Pit and the Pendulum and The Fall of the House of Usher. The Pit and the Pendulum is packed with suspense and keeps you on your toes. The ending was kind of lame, but other than that, I really enjoyed reading the story.The Fall of the House of Usher was also a great story. It showed more of Edgar's gothic style of writing. His gothic style is one of the main reasons why I prefer Edgar over Nathaniel. Nathaniel writes more about the puritan society and the concept of sin. His stories Young Goodman Brown, The Scarlet Letter, and The Minister's Black Veil are all very depressing and are hard to follow. None of them really caught my attention.
