This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic™ includes a glossary and reader s notes to help the modern reader contend with Poe' s allusions and complicated vocabulary.

Edgar Allan Poe's name conjures up thoughts of hearts beating long after their owners are dead, of disease and plague amid wealth, of love that extends beyond the grave, and of black ravens who utter only one word. The richness of Poe s writing, however, includes much more than horror, loss, and death.

Alive with hypnotic sounds and mesmerizing rhythms, his poetry captures both the splendor and devastation of love, life, and death. His stories teem with irony and black humor, in addition to plot twists and surprise endings. Living by their own rules and charged with passion, Poe s characters are instantly recognizable — even though we may be appalled by their actions, we understand their motivations.

The thirty-three selections in The Best of Poe highlight his unique qualities. Discover for yourself the mysterious allure and genius of Edgar Allan Poe, who remains one of America s most popular and important authors, even more than 150 years after his death.

Edgar Allan Poe

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Lenore, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.

was originally looking to get a hardcover poe stories set after watching Fall of the House of Usher but went for this instead and it's much better than the low price might suggest in quality and has a great selection of his famous stories

I think most people here are familiar with Edgar Allan Poe, so I feel I only need to drive the point across about the actual book. Coming into the fall season, I'm getting into a Halloween mood. This year I'm feeling classic horror and suspense literature. I hadn't ever gotten any books by Poe despite what I read in school or watched on film and tv, and figured it was time to add some to my literature collection. This collection has about 30 stories and poems (I can't say if it's his entire writings.) Most of all, when I bought a $5 mass market paperback, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a 7" x 9" book complete with notes, glossary and vocabulary. This would be awesome for students, and anyone who has issues reading old-timey prose in general. The not-so-great? Paper is thinner and the font is about 10pt. I know that's not ideal for everyone. Otherwise it's an excellent bargain.

Hey, Hello, did my Headline get your interest? Well good, as you are here now anyway, why not stay a while and read this review?
I can promise you something here and now today. When you have finished reading this review. You will have learned 3 new things.
Stay with me for this, ok? Here we go:

Now, without further ado, straight to the review:
Today: The Best of Poe (Kindle Version)

"Alexa, Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore?"
"Nevermore"
You did not get that? Well neither did Alexa.
You both should read this book. Its a collection of true masterpieces.

As I promised you will learn 3 new things today, first the product review, and here are 2 amazing facts more:
- Every Year on August 5th, the Mars Curiosity Rover celebrates the anniversary of its arrival by singing the Happy Birthday Song. To Itself. All alone. On Mars.
- Queen Cleopatra was alive closer to the invention of the IPHONE than the construction of the Great Pyramid. Think about that...

This book is an essential collection of well known writings and some more lesser known writings! The pages are clear and the font is concise. I like that it is paperback. Amazing stories and fantastic writing by the classic Edgar Allan Poe! Highly Recommend!
