About the authors
Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Lenore, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2013Verified PurchaseThese books and stories all in one place for such a low price is incredible. Poe was one of the first suspense/horror writers who made a lasting impression on the human psyche. I don't think he was ever as venerated as a writer then as he is now. These are classic tales. Some are more "famous" than others today but you have to remember the time in which they were written. It was an era of change both industrially and scientifically and morally.
The fact that we can get all his writings in one volume is , I guess, a product of the Gods of Copyright more than anything else. All in all these are books any mystery or horror aficionado must read to understand where we are now in those genres.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 25, 2023Verified PurchaseReasonably priced and quick download
- Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2016Verified PurchaseI have been a fan of Poe's poetry for many years and still enjoy reading his poems from time to time. So far, I have read only three of his short stories and enjoyed them all.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2016Verified PurchaseThis is a great completion of Edgar Allan Poe. I have read some of his poems in highschool but never fully dived into it. It's worth your time to look through these.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2017Verified PurchaseAs only Poe can write it, this is a book full of tales and poetry that touches one's soul and leaves a lasting impression.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2019Verified PurchaseClassic
- Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2014Verified PurchaseWhile some of his classics are well-written and evoke the feeling of unease and horror of which he is a master, some of his other works are overly descriptive and boring. His attempts at comedy just weren't very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edgar Allan Poe: The Enigma, The Genius
Verified PurchaseThis was originally reviewed (along with every single story inside this anthology) over at alex-hurst.com, in the series "Tackling Poe". Naturally, to leave a review of everything here would be far too long!
I finished reading Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales & Poems about a week ago, but I wanted to give myself some time to digest everything, watch The Raven, and to formulate my final thoughts.
To start off, I think that––overall––this collection was fairly good. I did have some issues with it, as I’ve talked about before in some of the earlier parts of this massive review series. I really didn’t like that each story was just a sub-chapter of a larger heading, and formatted in a way that you couldn’t keep track of how much time was left in each segment (I often use this when I’m trying to justify staying up late or reading more during a break), and there were a few incorrectly classed pieces under the Essays section.
The compiler of the work did do a very good job formatting the poetry and fiction prose. They used true type, so even on the Kindle, it made for very lovely reading. Little embellishments, like unique titles, made the anthology look more polished.
I would have liked to have seen more context notes, because some of the stories and poems made a great deal more sense with the context I was able to glean from the internet (after only moderate searching). Since all of Edgar Allan Poe’s works are public domain, and free, I expect more of an anthology, in this regard. In many cases, the poetry or fiction notes that Edgar Allan Poe wrote to his editors at the time were not included with the stories, to the detriment of quite a few of them.
However, I know that to compile and format an anthology of this size and breadth is near impossible to do without some technical errors, and as most of my complaints were merely stylistic and subjective, I can recommend this anthology to most readers. Nothing will compare, I think, to seeing Poe’s works on paper (and being able to find quotes at a glance), but this is a close second. The section in the back which lists references to derivative or inspired works was very interesting. Much respect to Maplewood Books.
The anthology is a beast, totaling over 407,000 words total.
Now that I’m finally at the end of the collection, I would like to offer a list of recommendations. I’ll choose ten of his “classics”, ten “unknowns”, and fifteen poems which I do not think are well-known (of course everyone knows to read “The Raven”, “Annabel Lee”, “Lenore”, and so on). All of these are entirely subjective, but I think if you read nothing else but some of the thirty five I suggest here, you’ll have fairly good luck in reading something you’ll enjoy. They are in no particular order.

4.0 out of 5 stars マシューの声が买わせた本
Verified Purchase大好きな役者さんが「お気に入りの作家」として名前を挙げる、エドガー?アラン?ポー。
モルグ街の杀人くらいしか読んでなくて、マシュー?グレイ?ガブラーが朗読する原作を読みたくて、つい购入しました。
短编が多いのですが、リズムよく、きれいな表现が使われ、読みやすい。
マシューが「诗人」と话すように、実は诗も多く书いています。
そんなことを知ったのも、この本を买ったから。
ちょっとディープなポーの世界、覗いてみませんか??

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Completely Edition of the Works of Edgar Allan Poe, ...
Verified Purchase... masterfully enriched by the editor Magnolia Books. There are so many new facts I learned about this author - it is simply amazing! Since my early years I simply started to adore the poems and tales written by Edgar Allen Poe, like I loved to read H.P. Lovecraft, too. The horror, often so subtle in some stories Poe wrote, in others plain in sight - it gives me the goosebumps still now, as an adult.
To buy a complete collection was one of the first things I had to do for my Kindle, its was this one: The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Xist Classics) - as I bought the Complete Lovecraft and the Complete Sherlock Holmes by the same editor.
But this newer edition has bonuses I simply could not let slip! The content of the complete e-book is listed above, too.
Poems (Alone, The Raven, etc.). - Tales (The Fall of The House of Usher, etc.), but the wonderful illustrated "Raven" alone was worth the little money of only Euro 1,05. But here we have:
- The complete original text of over 150 works by Edgar Allan Poe, including short stories and poems;
- A Free audio book access to full-length recordings of Edgar Allan Poe's works;
- A beautifully illustrated version of Poe's most famous work - "The Raven";
- A clean formatting designed to fit any screen size;
-- And then the Bonuses:
- Poe's Influence - Film and Television Adaptations, Poe in Music, Literature and Comics
- And... the Most Famous Quotes from Edgar Allan Poe, too.
You can move quickly back and forth among Poems and Tales by simply clicking a link in the Table of Contents.
An unbeatable collection for an unbeatable price. Everything a real fan needs!
