About this audiobook
Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not a big fan of his poetry, but he's number one on my list for fiction writers. The book itself is what brings the mark down a bit; the pages are bound with glue (as opposed to string). (3 1/2)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Views on a fee of the stories within:Purloined LetterI read this because it is one of the books on the 1001 Books You Must Read List. It's clear why it's on there - a clear antecedent of Sherlock Holmes in almost every respect.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It took me over a year to complete, but I read every work in this book eventually. Everyone who likes Poe has their favorites, so it may be cheaper and more convenient to purchase a not-so-complete book for those who aren't die-hard Poe fans. Even I will probably never read the essays again, though I've read "Mask of the Red Death", "The Black Cat", and many others over and over again. There are plenty of Poe compilations out there, however, so if you're just looking for a basic collection, and want to skip some of his drier works like his essays, that may be a better way to go.
