The Majesty of Edgar Allan Poe


If you've never read Edgar Allan Poe, or at least haven't read his work since you had to back in high school, then you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of his works and give them a read.

Poe was truly a master of his craft.

I think a good book to pick up is Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems. You can get it here on Amazon. The Kindle version is only $1.19 at the time of this writing, making it a bargain.

Some of the best poems and short stories he wrote are included here, including:
  • Lenore
  • To One in Paradise
  • Fall of the House of Usher

and of course,

  "Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!"

Love that ending!
