Selected Stories and Poems by Edgar Allan Poe.

3/5 rating. 253 pages.

Book #48 of 2021. Read June 15, 2021.

This is a collection of some of Poe’s most famous stories.

If you have never read any of Poe, I would recommend it just to understand this renowned American author. He obviously lived a very tragic life. His stories are dark, macabre, and so often focused on moribund characters. I wouldn’t necessarily say you need to read all of this book, or even most of it, but I think it is important to read some of the tales that are considered to be “the greats”.

With stories like “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Gold Bug” and poems like “The Raven” this book included all of Poe’s stories from a favorite game of my family’s: “Authors”!

Just be prepared, as Death is ever present.
