While some of his short stories (lesser known) can't compare with the magic of Into the Maelstrom or The Telltale Heart, this book is a great resource for any Poe fan. It's conveniently indexed, but if you're like me you'll sit down and read it from cover to cover. It tends to be expensive (esp. in hardcover) but I promise, it's worth the investment!
Would love to learn about drafts of these stories--whether there were many. Have seen a precursor of one story.

Poe is a favorite of mine. December was the perfect time to revisit and read around 25 of his tales and poems while following along with The House of Usher tv series
I really enjoyed reading Edgar Allan Poe's work. I'll admit I didn't know what was happening in some of his short stories some of the time, I'm just not intelligent enough, but I really enjoyed his work overall.
Most of these I had read before but it was great to revisit the original master.
