The Collected Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe
by Edgar Allan Poe
by Edgar Allan Poe
Poe was a thoroughly messed up fellow, but his stuff is genius and he helped to create the detective fiction, science fiction and horror genres that we know today.
His poetry tends to be mopey and depressing, but his mystery stories are brilliant and his horror stories are still creepy as all get out.
Every story drips with atmosphere and while his characters can be a bit flat, he had a gift for creating fantastic places that felt real.

I remember reading "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart" when I was in middle school and they were creepy!! What were the creepiest tales to you?

I think I'd go with 'Tell-tale heart' and 'Masque of the Red Death'.Though, there are very few un-creepy Poe stories.
His mysteries are actually pretty light, with bits of humor and a nice friendship between Dupin and his sidekick.Aside from that, and maybe 'Interview with a mummy', the rest are pretty grim.
