Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
He revolutionized the horror tale, giving it psychological insight and a consistent tone and atmosphere; he invented the modern detective story; he wrote some of the world's best-known lyric poetry and a major novella of the fantastic; he impressed such writers as Baudelaire, Mallarme and Borges. If it's been a while since you read any Edgar A. Poe (he never used "Allan"), you've probably forgotten how terrific he is. And some of his best work is in his lesser-known stories, such as "The Imp of the Perverse" and "A Descent into the Maelstrom." In short, what are you waiting for?

Go for the complete works,
This review is from: Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Works, Deluxe Edition (Hardcover)
Edgar Allan Poe is one of America's greatest writers. He is an absolute master of the short story and the poem. A collection of Poe's writings is a welcome addition to any bookshelf. I would not, however, chose this particular collection.Because all of his works fit handsomely in a single volume, there is no real need to purchase a "selected works" version like this one. There are other "value priced" editions that have everything and you will be better off with one of them. Look for the term "complete works." Poe's writings do not disappoint, but this presentation of his writings does.

Excellent Plethora of E. Allan Poe Material,
By Phillip G. (Stanton, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Works, Deluxe Edition (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book, it has gold leaf paper and its own bookmark and has a GREAT sum of his work although some 'may' be missing but all the great ones are there such as the infamous The Raven and The Masque of Red Death, The Fall of The House of Usher among many others; to keep this short and simple this book is well worth the price and looks better in person then what amazon shows. Do keep in mind like I said this is a very nice book and only buy it if your either an avid Poe fan or want a great book to add to your growing library (like me), otherwise buy a paperback if you want something to tote around with you between classes etc.

This book is the best horror and sci-fi book of all time.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Works, Deluxe Edition (Hardcover)
Edgar A.Poe's book"Works of Edgar Allan Poe" is a classic book of sci-fi and detective stories as well as the works he's most famous for. Anyone can get into it, even if they are 14 like me. The plots are unique and mind boggling, each story involving the complexity of the human mind.
