After reading this volume I was impressed at the breadth of Poe's work. His most famous works,I have deciceded, are certainly NOT his best ones. Incidentally, this means that if you love Poe, you may grow to love him more. If you are even somewhat attracted to the uncanny aspect of his stories, behold his lesser known and far stranger works.
Poe's Victorian attachment to exacting detail makes several of these stories quite gripping. His odd imagination comes to life most vividly in his humor. Yes, Poe wrote humor! Try "the Angel of The Odd", "The Scythe of Time, "The Imp of the Perverse", "The Devil in the Belfry", or "Never Bet the Devil Your Head".
After finishing some of these works, you'll wonder why your high school teachers assigned the blandest of his selections, leaving you with what you may soon consider to be a rather shallow appreciation of his writing. To label Poe as merely a horror writer is akin to labelling Thomas Jefferson as a farmer.
Discover an American macabre genius all over again: revel in his irony and his wit. Buy the book, light up a fire on a crisp autumn night, and experience the complete Poe.
