A review by prekrasan
The Essential Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe

4.0

It really is a pity the stories aren't rated individually, because the second half of the collection of stories was superb. The first half seemed rather incomplete, like Poe got bored writing them and hastily concluded them. As for the poems, I did not care for most of them. My favorite poem from the collection, "The Raven", seemed to be written in an entirely different way than the other poems. Altogether, I highly recommend this work. It contains a little bit of many things - not only poetry and short stories, but mysteries and horror. I really enjoyed it overall.
