I was wondering about a story written by Edgar Allen Poe called "NightFalls" I cannot find it anywhere.

No Poe's story with such a title. I suspect a reference to Poe by a "Rock" Band (Cinema Srange?,) with heavy touches of "gothicism", exploiting the common idea of Poe as a writer of "gore", terrific, sadic stories, exactly what he wasn't... though himself exploiting, in some of his tales, this kind of matter for commercial as well as aesthetic purposes. Yours sincerely, Raven's Shade (Belgium).
