Narration Conducive To Books Tales of Mystery and Imagination

It's unfair to just burying Poe in the "Horror" tomb, with a Raven & a Black Cat..

Reading this volume I really see how HUGE his imagination was, how it was ahead of his times.

From traveling over the ocean by a air transportation... or to the moon..

Or inventing the first Detective story ever..

Or his delving into the matter, death, soul, mind and even God and free well by hypothesis.

Or of course, the delving into the man's Conscience, guilt and self-destruction..

There's even kind of Romance, Fantasy, adventure, treasure hunt, code breaking, satire...

He inspired Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Arthur Conan Doyle with crime novels,


And inspired Jules Verne ,then H G Wells and even recently Andy Weir with his science fiction stories,


And so more... just by his wild imagination..


So the five stars here are for his originality and innovations in stories..
Which is not just little Horror Stories..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personal Note:
----------

In order to enjoy his stories, I read first the Arabic -complete, unbridged- translation of it... then reviewing and fast readin it in its original forum, since Poe use a bit hard language for me and he's got a way in 'digression' sometimes and complex sentences.

So I skipped few stories here till I have the translation of it-and even enjoyed some stories that aren't in this edition-, so I'll be back to this book again soon.

Write-Up Epithetical Books Tales of Mystery and Imagination

We did it! Jess and I have been reading this one out loud together for over three years, nearly the whole time that we have been in Ohio. We weren't terribly consistent over the latter part of that time, but we made a big push in the past week to get through the last hundred pages or so. Overall a pretty good anthology that showcases most of Poe's well-known works as well as many that I had never heard of before. While I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, it is a classic and scratches a gothic

Some stories in this collection are better than others. For example, Edgar Allan Poe's detective stories such as "The Murders in Rue Morgue" or "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" were inferior in quality in comparison with "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", and my absolute favorite, "The Black Cat". This story is, to my mind, the pinnacle of Poe's macabre genius (as far as his prose goes), as it shows vividly the gradual mental breakdown from first person perspective. Not to

Another volume for my recently started Poe collection, this volume has 6 of Poe's better known stories complete with a small number of illustrations to bring hos work to life (as if it needs the help, still they are really good illustrations, the one for Usher is excellent). As ever I am a self confessed Poe addict so this review is biased to the hilt (you have been warned) but no-one can deny he had a knack and talent for bringing his stories to life and capturing the very essence of each of

An anthology of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. Obsessed with the macabre, he typically wrote horror but also in a variety of genres such as dark fantasy, adventure, and detective fiction. Three things are characteristic to all of his stories for me. The first is a lofty writing style that is as concise as it is erudite. Poe was an educated man and his stories frequently reference themes in esoteric philosophy. It is in this sense I can see his influence on another one of my favourite writers,

A huge collection of tales which reflect Poe's remarkable versatility and range as an author. His brilliance is not in doubt, and a number of the grotesque horror tales he is most identified with are simply radiant and well told. Once your brain manages to embrace his florid (perhaps once could also say dated) style it is easy to lose yourself as if hypnotised in the worlds he builds. Poe can cleverly manage tension and deliver extremely satisfying endings. This is a substantial collection

This book spent three years in my "currently reading" pile, but now I've finished it. Ha!The short stories in this collection fall in three main categories. 1) The horrific and/or freaky, 2) the puzzles and detective stories, and 3) the stories about losing loved ones, particular of the romantic kind.That last one would make anyone wonder whether Poe had lost someone -- he did, his wife of 11 years. (She was 13 when he married her, but let's not go there). The stories, to me, border on the
