Summary: Sends your mind craving for more
Review: Edgar Allan Poe, one of my favorite author and poet, knows exactly how to get to one's soul. He has lived through a lot as we all should know about his life. Reading and hearing about his life as a child and young adult really made me sad for him. Just to feel what he was feeling when he was going through all that drama would be too much stress and heartache for me. When I read Annable Lee I just want to cry. Everytime he says her name, it's like he's calling for her but she never comes. It's just really sad! If you haven't read any of his stories I really suggest you do. That IS the least we can do for him since he had a very hard life and his short stories and poems made him the great author he is known for today. <3, Angel

Summary: One of horror's finest...
Review: For decades people have read, and re-read the works of Edgar Allan Poe--each time leaving the reader to walk away with a chill in the spine, and a deep sense that there are some things in life, however imagined, that are simply terrifying. Poe speaks through the heart of his own woes, his own terror...making his characters breathe life into their stories. Perhaps one of my favorites by this master of the macabre is "The Tell-Tale Heart," a maddening and sometimes angering ride through a deranged mind. This is an historical dance through the dark, perhaps even the most pivotal root in the life and love of the horror story. Poe worked not from the concepts of traditional monsters, but rather stirred the monsters haunting his protagonists...there are few who can lay claim to this level of suspense, drama, or who have ever invoked genuine fear in their readers. Poe does it with cunning, and seeming ease. Highly recommended reading.

Summary: Great stories, by a most wonderful auther
Review: I want to respond to one of the other reviews, because, even if the stories are abit hard to understand at times, Poe does his job in chilling the reader, and what more can you ask? The stories are all wonderfully written if you ask me, and this is a good book for people who are starting to read Poe.

Review: I've read a few of Edgar Allan Poe's stories and found them very intriguing, to say the least. One of my favorites being "The Cast of Amontillado." Poe really brings out the darker side of one's personality in his stories. I think he expresses his hardship growing up through his writings. Once you pick up one of Poe's books, you would want to read more and more. His stories are mystefying and frightening. They may make you want to laugh and cry all at the same time. If you are really in the mood to get lost in darkness, mystery and intrigue, pick up one of Poe's books. You'll be glad you did.
