Read in March, 2008
I've always loved "The Raven" but when I found this collection on my bookshelves, I began to truly appreciate Poe. He's a phenomenal mystery writer and he packs a punch with his short stories! One of my favorites is The Murders in the Rue Morgue. "The Raven" was only the beginning!

I really like his most well know stories and poems but some of the more obscure stuff is really tough to want to read through.
