This compilation of short stories include some of Poe's most famous works. They include adventures, including one short story, "A Descent into the Maelstrom", and one novella, "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym", which involve man against the transitory and chaotic nature of the sea. I would imagine that the sea for 19th century sailors and travelers could be a source of horror. The others involve horrible situations that characters find themselves, included bound on a table with a bladed pendulum, slowly descending, swinging back and forth "The Pit and the Pendulum", or being walled alive within brick masonry, "The Cask of Amontillado." My favorite in this grouping was "The Black Cat" about a guilt-ridden man is haunted by a black cat who he victimized and leads a murderous conclusion. Several of these stories were translated into horror films I loved at Saturday matinees as a boy.

I've read two stories from this collection for the 1001 books to read before you die list. The first one "The Purloined Letter" sucked. I DNF because it was so boring and really too much information to get through just to find out how he got his hands on the letter. However, the second story "The Fall of the House of Usher" was more of the Poe writing that I enjoy. It's about a haunted house with a poor man who is going crazy inside it. Ending was strange and left it to the reader's imagination what happened to Usher.

This is very thrilling story.
I was interested in his book because Japanese famous writer Ranpo Edogawa is made by changing Edgar Allan Poe.
The story is nice.
But a little dreadful

My first collection of the maestro's work. Inexorably moody.

Edgar Allan Poe was the inventor of the thriller and made an very chilling work of his story "The Fall of the House of Usher". Being my favorite work of his besides "The Raven", I would recommend it to anyone. However, his stories all together are a bit too grim and gruesome for my taste.
