Many Good Stories In One,
By
This review is from: Tales of Mystery and Terror (Puffin Classics) (Paperback)
Mystery, terror, suspense... it's all here. Just look at all the classic stories in this one volume: The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tell Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and his masterpiece the Gold Bug. This is required reading for any fan of Poe, or classic writings in general.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Tales of Mystery and Terror (Puffin Classics) (Paperback)
***This book is a worderful book full of suspense and wonder. Edgar Allen Poe is a literary genius!!! His work in this book is amazing, but in some parts I could not understand. In this book there is not just one story; there is TWELVE!!! Twelve tales of mystery and suspense. This book is a chilling adevture for more mature audiences. I do reccomend this book highly; but BEWARE!!! (>':'<)***
