In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe: Classic Tales of Horror, 1816-1914 by Leslie S. Klinger
2.0
I primarily read this for The Yellow Wallpaper, on the list for Crash Course Literature this season. This was the only collection available from my library system that had it, and I wasn't terribly interested in reading the other stories.
That being said, The Yellow Wallpaper was excellent, and I read most of the other stories, which were overwritten in the style of the times--if you're a diehard Poe fan, these are right up your alley, but otherwise I mostly found them excessively wordy.
