Edgar Allan Poe Complete Tales & Poems (2003)
Edgar Allan Poe Complete Tales & Poems (2003) | Edgar Allan Poe
The life of American writer Edgar Allan Poe was characterized by a dramatic series of successes and failures, breakdowns and recoveries, personal gains and hopes dashed through, despite which he created some of the finest literature the world has ever known. Over time his works have influenced such major creative forces as the French poets Charles Baudelaire and Andre Gide, filmmaker D.W. Griffith and modern literary legend Allen Ginsberg. Best known for his poems and short fiction, Poe perfected the psychological thriller, invented the detective story, and rarely missed transporting the reader to his own supernatural realm. He has also been hailed posthumously as one of the finest literary critics of the nineteenth century. In "Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems" fans may indulge in all of Poe's most imaginative short-stories, including "The Fall of the House of Usher, The Murders in Rue Morgue, The Tell-Tale Heart, Ligeia" and" Ms. In a Bottle." His complete early and miscellaneous poetic masterpieces are here also, including "The Raven, Ulalume, Annabel Lee, Tamerlane," as well as select reviews and narratives.

I've always been a massive fan of Poe, so reading more of his work was great! I liked quite a few, especially Masque of the Red Death and The Fall of the House of Usher, others I wasn't keen on. As usual I adored his poetry and enjoyed rereading some of my favourites. Overall a chonky but darkly enjoyable collection!

I spent much of October and November reading these. I especially enjoyed Poe‘s poetry and the Cthulhu stories, but I haven‘t really touched them this month so I‘m taking off my currently reading list to start the year fresh. Maybe I‘ll finish them up next fall.

It's a lovely, cool fall day. The colors are starting to change. It makes it a good time to read a bit of Poe and earn some points for #TeamMonsterMash ! What is your favorite story by Poe? Mine is probably "The Pit and the Pendulum."

I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but let's be honest - a book cover matters! I'm talking about actual books, btw, not the metaphor. Also very important? How it feels in my hands. Anyone else?
Not necessarily a Poe fan, but I almost bought this one on my last trip to the bookstore.

1&2) I can‘t really say I‘ve ever been scared from a book. But I also don‘t try to scare myself. I tend to like spending time with the creepy and uncanny, like Edgar Allan Poe‘s writing, and the evils of human nature like Shirley Jackson, or weird concepts like anything from Chuck Paulahnick.
3) I‘m not really sure if it‘s unpopular but I really like musicals like Little Shop of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, Repo: the Genetic Opera

Nothing quite like some eerie Poe short stories on a rainy day. Stories read : The Mask of the Red Death, The Black Cat, The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Cask of Amontillado. (Only three of these were after October 1st for #scarathalon2020 and #cyoreadathon)
3 hours (30)+ themed stories (45)+ participation post (1)= 76pts for #TeamHarkness

StayCurious If you read three stories that fit into our theme, they would be 15 points each - were they supernatural at all? (I apologize, I don't know my Poe lol) - that would make your total 66 - let me know. 4y
StayCurious right 76 looks better - lol I can do math... 4y
AFrostCauseReads @StayCurious yes, the ones I read had supernatural elements. I redid the math, 76pts 👻 4y

I would like to read this book by Poe. I love his poems especially Annabelle Lee and The Bells

This single volume brings together all of Poe's stories and poems, and illuminates the diverse and multifaceted genius of one of the greatest and most influential figures in American literary history.

This is the book that's taking up my time, I've read a chunk from this book before but it's huge and it's too much to read cover to cover; need breaks from it ~ so I'm taking another stab at it! 💀

Got a favourite Poe tale?
