ellanorte's review against another edition
3.0
Algunos de los relatos me gustaron más, otros menos, pero sin duda lo mejor fue la intigra, el suspense y el tinte macabro de muchos de ellos.
Si les tengo que poner alguna pega son las idas y venidas entre explicaciones, donde Poe se va por las ramas y se desliga de la trama con amplias explicaciones sobre la lógica o cualquier otro tema que venga de refilón.
Sin duda un buen primer contacto con Poe.

Most of the stories were just okay. I did find The Pit and the Pendulum both terrifying and inspiring, so that was my favorite. Honorable mention to The Black Cat.

I'm finished with this book (for now) because I only wanted to read the short story "The Gold Bug".
Why that story? On May 27 2016, on the TV game show Jeopardy, the Final Jeopardy category was "19th Century Novels" and the clue was "The Gold Bug, [a:Edgar Allan Poe|4624490|Edgar Allan Poe|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1454522972p2/4624490.jpg]'s story about the search for Captain Kidd's buried loot helped inspire this 1883 novel."
That novel was [b:Treasure Island|295|Treasure Island|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388607993s/295.jpg|3077988] by [a:Robert Louis Stevenson|854076|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1192746024p2/854076.jpg] and that is my next book to read.
I doubt that an animated scarab beetle made of solid gold made it into this next book but I shall find out.
