I love Edgar Allan Poe, but i found that most of his stories and poems are harder to understand because of the time period. So i bought this book hoping to get the full message...And i did its got slightly bigger print, Vocabulary at the bottom like a school book...In fact this was the version we used in our high school and it was great. It has a nice front cover a crows shadow and a haunted house in a storm its really neat... Poe being a gothic writer makes his writing more dark. He writes about the death and maddness. This great book by Nextext include the following Edgar Allan Poe stories/poems:

Stories:

"A shorty poe biography"

"The pit and the Pendulum"

"The Masque of the Red Death"

"The Fall of the House of Usher"

"The Tell-Tale Heart"

"The Cask of Amontillado"

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue"

"The Purloined Letter"

Poems:

"Annabel Lee"

"To Helen"

"The Raven"

So in conclusion this book is really good for students, adults,or anyone looking for a gothic story collection
