Summary
Gothic master Edgar Allan Poe's complete works are collected in this multivolume set by Blackstone Audio. Here are his short stories, detective fiction, and poems in all their mysterious and macabre glory. Also included are Poe's literary reviews and editorial musings, comprising an often caustic analysis of the poetry, drama, and fiction of the period.
This collection includes Poe's famous stories "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", and "The Tell-Tale Heart". Poe's poetry features prominently in this collection, with well-known classics such as "The Raven", "Annabel Lee", and "Lenore" presented alongside lesser-known works like "Eulalie" and "The Conqueror Worm". Poe fans will be treated to his fearless and acerbic analysis of then-modern works, a practice earning him the reputation as a "tomahawk man" in artistic circles.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

good collection of short stories
quite enjoyable, some stories much better than others, often overuse of certain words such as "ejaculated", almost repeatedly at points brings down the readability somewhat

NOT MUCH OF TRUE VALUE
EAP’s headspace and linguistic proclivities are established in less than four hours of this Megalodon-of-an-anthology. It reveals that Poe is no comedian, but that he is a pedant – something aptly highlighted by repeated expressions of self interest, narcissism and loneliness found within his philosophical and mythological writings, as much as his poetic and allegorical pieces. There is no denying the breadth of his vocabulary (which is generally a delight to listen to), but he does love the sound of his own ‘voice’.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, of the 117 titles contained within this collection, I can say I enjoyed… eight (Bon-Bon; The Fall of the House of Usher; The Murders in the Rue Morgue; A Descent into the Maelström; Three Sundays in a Week; The Oval Portrait; The Pit and the Pendulum; Some Words with a Mummy)! That’s a little short of just 7%. Suffice it to say, I am not a fan of EAP. I wasn’t too sure of that stance before investing nigh-on 45 hours of my life, but now I am #SmallWins
