    About this ebook

    An indispensable collection of the work of one of the 19th century’s most compelling and original poets, this comprehensive edition contains all of Edgar Allan Poe’s poetry and three most important essays. Reissued to coincide with the release of a major Hollywood film of the same title, it exposes Poe’s diversity and genius, from breathtakingly seductive beauty of “To Helen” to the claustrophobic horror of “The Raven.” Unique in that it features the poetry of a writer more famous for his fiction, this book proves that Poe’s work runs deeper than the American gothic genre.

      I love Edgar Allen Poe.  
    • 2/5
      It was very slow and calm in the beginning not to much excitement. It didn’t have my attention but I read it to see if I would understand it a little more then what I thought about it. I had given up on this book because I wasn’t finding any interest and I didn’t really understand its way of explaining things or what they were doing. Yea, there were some good parts in the book I am not going to lie but not to the point where I wanted to read more about it. It’s a good book for those who are into like poem type readers or those who know how to read in the way they talked back then as like in ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ It has some mystery that is quit interesting. In some moments when I wasn’t reading the book I read the poems in the back of the book to see what they were about. They were long and not to the point. I had to read it a few times before I actually got what he was talking about.
