2) Paperback Book The Works of Edgar Allan Poe by IndyPublish.com. This book provides the reader a significant sampling of Poe´s works both stories and poems. I found the 69 stories to be adequate for the casual reader including all the well known tales: The Masque of the Red Death, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and The Cask of Amontillado. I was pleased to see that "Hop Frog" also made the cut.

His included poems numbered 31 and included: The Raven, Lenore, To The River, The Sleeper, The Haunted Palace, and Dreams. I believe the collection is well suited for a "Selected Works" book.

The book itself is hardbound, the edges of the pages are gold, and a yellow ribbon book mark is built in to the top of the spine. The only negative thing I can truly say about this book is that my personal copy had a broken spine when I took it out of the box, though it was new.¤

3) Paperback Book The Works of Edgar Allan Poe by IndyPublish.com. This is an excellent book, it has gold leaf paper and its own bookmark and has a GREAT sum of his work although some ´may´ be missing but all the great ones are there such as the infamous The Raven and The Masque of Red Death, The Fall of The House of Usher among many others; to keep this short and simple this book is well worth the price and looks better in person then what amazon shows. Do keep in mind like I said this is a very nice book and only buy it if your either an avid Poe fan or want a great book to add to your growing library (like me), otherwise buy a paperback if you want something to tote around with you between classes etc.¤

4) Paperback Book The Works of Edgar Allan Poe by IndyPublish.com. Edgar Allan Poe is truely the father of Horror stories. My favourite creepy story is ´The Tell-Tale Heart´ a short read that should be read late at night to get the atmosphere of a true Edgar Allan Poe work of art.

I also enjoyed ´The Masque of Red Death´ - a little known short story as well as ´Murders in the Rue Morgue´. Poe´s greatest known work - ´The Raven´ is also included, and that is by far the best thing Poe has written.

There are not only short stories and poetry. Poe did give script writing a go, and the play ´The Power of Words´ is an interesting read, and shows a discussion with a tutor and a pupil over various topics. This script is meant to be read and nor performed, however.

Edgar Allan Poe´s best work is defienetly in this volume, and I recomened it for lovers of reading and not just poetry, and vice versa.¤

5) Paperback Book The Works of Edgar Allan Poe by IndyPublish.com. Edgar Allen Poe´s, "The Cast Of Amontillado," is a witty and daring tale between two enemies. It humorously portrays the foil of Fortunato, as he is led through the catacombs. Poe´s humor is dark, sarcastic and very ironic, which quickly becomes a signpost of the tale. Poe sets himself apart from other authors in his works, based on how he depicts and encounters death. It accentuates the notion that at times, your worst enemy will appear as your best friend. Pride is the downfall of every man and the same can be said for fortunato. "Nemo me impune lacessit."¤

7) Paperback Book The Works of Edgar Allan Poe by IndyPublish.com. He revolutionized the horror tale, giving it psychological insight and a consistent tone and atmosphere; he invented the modern detective story; he wrote some of the world´s best-known lyric poetry and a major novella of the fantastic; he impressed such writers as Baudelaire, Mallarme and Borges. If it´s been a while since you read any Edgar A. Poe (he never used "Allan"), you´ve probably forgotten how terrific he is. And some of his best work is in his lesser-known stories, such as "The Imp of the Perverse" and "A Descent into the Maelstrom." In short, what are you waiting for?¤
