    About this audiobook

    Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe) was born in Boston Massachusetts on January 19th 1809 and was orphaned at an early age. Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of money and he went to the military academy, West Point where he failed to become an officer. His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals until in January 1845 The Raven was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and macabre. In this volume we bring you some of his poetry, all less well known than his stories, but fascinating none the less. Some are dark and others speak of love. Together they help to round out Edgar Allan Poe the Artist. Poe died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland.

    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.

      Not 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)

      Views 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.

      It 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.
