Also included are some of Poe’s most beloved poems, haunting lyrics of love and loss, such as "Annabel Lee," nightmare phantasmagories such as "The Raven," and his grand experiment in translating sound into words, "The Bells."

Meet the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

    Awesome collection!

    I just bought this book after wasting 99 cents on another one that didn't even work and this one is the real deal. The table of contents works perfectly and it's just a great collection of Poe's works. If you love Edgar Allen Poe as much as I do, buy this one with confidence.

    Goood boook

    You get 771 pages for 3 dollars. One of my friends loved these books, and he is super smart. I wondered where he got such a large vocabulary for being fourteen. I have to look up four words on every page, now i know why he knows so much.

    Looks good, easily navigable, but has some unfortunate typos. On

    Looks good, easily navigable, but has some unfortunate typos. One of Poe's most famous stories is mis-titled, "Ligieba." I should have taken a sample first.
