The only one i have read is the 'Tell Tale Heart'. The movie the 'Raven' was nice I haven't read the book though.

I got a hard cover compilation that comprises all of Poe's work. It only cost 20 bucks. Most good bookstores should have a copy.

I've read Complete stories and poems long time ago, it's one of the best books I've read. Unfortunately he died at young age and once you finish his works you start wondering .... damnnnn what would he have written in time to come...
I dare saying along with Franz Kafka hi was one of the most unique authors of the time ...

I bought the book of his complete works but I'd really recommend:

the fall of the house of usher - a chilly gothic complete with storms, mad hosts and midnight noises

the tell-tale heart - short and creepy story of a murder

the black cat - good story that made the animal lover in me shriek with indignity

and just for fun: a humourous overview of the fall of the house of usher. my best friend read this years after reading poe's story and said 'huh. i didn't remember it being a comedy..'
