    <body><![CDATA[I read the Oxford Classics Edgar Allen Poe's selected tales. It's a great collection with an ace cover. The stories contain beautiful, compelling language and there is a lovely sense of humour exhibited in Poe's love of madness, which is a recurring theme. My favourite so far is The Tell-Tale Heart,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57230103">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think these were good when written, and probably a good read for younger kids, but all these stories have been retold in so many different formats (book and film) that the endings were all obvious to me very early in each short story.  Not as fun to read as I hoped.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Poe's work and its meandering through the dark side of the psyche is phenomenal. As popular as he is, I still think he is an underappreciated and underestimated literary talent. ]]></body>
