it was amazing
bookshelves: gothic

I really enjoyed these creepy, gothic, and thrilling short stories. Edgar Allan Poe really was original and ahead of his time in writing. The storytelling and his ability to paint a picture with words is fantastic. These stories are tales of tragedy, woe, despair, and typically do not end well. All the stories are creative and enjoyable. Some that stood out to me were the:
'The Masque of the Red Death' were time and death are inevitable for all

The Gothic masterpiece of with a supernatural-horror feel, 'The Fall of the House of Usher'

There are many other short stories including a treasure hunting story along costal South Carolina (The Gold Bug), detective stories (The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Mystery of Marie Roget), and a selection of poems including the supernatural classic, 'The Raven'.

Overall I really did enjoy almost all of these short stories and poems. I would definitely recommend this or any other edition of The Complete Tales and Poems. Thanks!

Federico DN I do agree those stories were some of the greatest, though in my case I didn't enjoy them all. But glad you did :D. Good review Brett!

Thanks, Federico! This was 5 years ago, I may have to revisit some of these stories this year!
