Essential Indeed.
The must read essential short stories and poems by all-mighty Edgar Allan Poe, grandfather of anything horror.
Having read almost all the bibliography by master Poe, and setting aside some personal preferences, I must say this is indeed (add a few take a few) one of the best collection and true essential writings anyone should read by the author. Anything else is just a bonus, or a penalty, depending the case. At least regarding the short stories! Don’t mind my ratings on the poems, I just can’t stand them in general, regardless of the author, Poe not being the exception.
Go for the Best, consider the Good, whatever the Meh.

Verdaderamente Esencial.
La lectura debida de los cuentos y poemas esenciales del todopoderoso Edgar Allan Poe, gran abuelo de todo lo horroroso.
Habiendo leído casi la totalidad de la bibliografía del maestro Poe, y dejando de lado ciertas preferencias personales, puedo decir que esta es verdaderamente (añade un par quita un par) la mejor colección y en efecto esenciales escritos que cualquiera debería leer del autor. Cualquier otra cosa es un extra, o un castigo, dependiendo el caso ¡Al menos con respecto a los cuentos cortos! No le presten atención a mi calificación de los poemas, en general no puedo soportarlos, independientemente del autor, Poe no siendo la excepción.
