Edgar Allan Poe: Collected Works by Edgar Allan Poe
4.0
ive got a real soft spot for edgars classic macabre poetri and short stori, and they still slap and i love them. berenice forever is the best one. we love a womb tomb.
HOWEVER there were a good coupl of stories and his one novella that were racist as all hell. id never encountered them before and while ofc i assumed ed was racist bc duh i did NOT kno it was so ugli and blatant in so much of his work.
finalli, i also didnt kno he was funni???? like ok mr poe i see ur dry absurdist humor before absurdism even was a thing.
so mixed bag but the good stuff is still good and there were sum stories that were new to me that were also good. the bad stuff is v bad. i skipped the entire novella and a coupl of his stories bc it was just too gross
