Poe is one of my favorites. I have much of The Tell-Tale Heart committed to memory. The Raven is another that sticks with me. There are few authors that have written in his style. One that comes to mind is R.A. Knowlton in one of his short stories about the painting Guernica by Picasso.

This collection of writings of Poe is a must read!

Nice collection of Poe's works. It's mostly his more popular works but I'm sure one can find several favorites among them. Would have given it 5 stars if not for the very small print. PS The Kindle edition is very nice also.

The Poe stories and poem ("The Raven") contained in this collection are the kind that you can read over and over again. You can read them aloud or to yourself and enjoy the language and style.

This collection includes the suspenseful "The Cask of Amontillado," the uneasiness of "The Masque of the Red Death" and the sheer insanity of "The Tell-Tale Heart." One of Poe's masterful skills is his character's! breathless! dialogue! and it's on full display here.
