Edgar Allen Poe was a very talented but haunted author.Everything that went wrong for him, he was able to take and mold into something inspiring for aspiring authors such as myself today. And even though his words weren't recognized until after his death,at least, he knows somehwere in heaven that his words will now live on forever. Continuing to make a difference.

Love Poe already have several of his books. He was a misunderstood mystical genius.
Just won this in a giveaway from goodreads!
Excellent collection of Poe's work. The annotations are a perfect guidance for the reader to understand the context and get the most out of the stories.

“There are things around us and about, of which I can render no distinct account--Things material and spiritual; heaviness in the atmosphere; a sense of suffocation, anxiety, and above all, that terrible state of existence which the nervous experience when the senses are keenly living and awake and meanwhile the powers of thought lie dormant.”
