A collection of 73 tales and 52 poems spanning the writing career of Edgar Allan Poe. He is best known for his poem "The Raven" and tale of "The Tell-Take Heart". A favourite among gothic horror fans, I was really looking forward to reading this complete collection. Sadly I was quite let down. There was a lot of gothic horror tales, but there were a lot of random tales as well. The ones I really enjoyed were: The Unparalled Adventures of one Hans Pfaal (non-horror) The Gold Bug The Murders in the Rue Morgue The Mystery of Marie Roget The Black Cat The Tell-Tale Heart A Predicament Diddling (non-horror) Hop-Frog William Wilson Beatrice The System of Dr Tarr and Professor Fether Narrative of A. Gordon Pym Eleonora Some words with a Mummy (non-horror) The Spectacles This is only a list of 16 tales and out of 73 it's a pretty small proportion. I found that there were far too many I didn't enjoy between those I did which mad it very difficult to keep going and finish them all. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the poetry and they are something I would go back and read again. I think the best thing to do is stick to a collection of his best horror ones to save being disappointed with the rest (however they do become a little formulaic after a while). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
