The Best of Poe (Abridged) Audiobook

" Finally! I'm finally done with this book! Mr. Poe, you really can be quite insufferable at times. Way too descriptive writing to the point it felt he was just throwing filler fodder at us to increase the page numbers. Abrupt endings all around, tiring soliloquies... I was reading the Spanish version (not the best translation ever, to be honest), so perhaps the reading experience would have been much more enjoyable if I had the text's original version. Maybe I just don't get Poe, maybe it's the generational gap or something, I don't know. "

" So many books I've read lately referred to Poe that I felt I ought to re-read some of the short stories. In the end, I've opted for three stars, as the good ones are really good, and for the most part balance out the stories which grabbed me less. "

" It doesn't get any better than this, folks. Edgar Allan Poe is the unchallenged master of horror and what got me into reading books. His short stories always deliver and are imbued with a unique horror aura. The stuff of legends, ladies and gentlemens. "

" One can never read enough Poe. :) "

" This remains one of the most horrific collection of tales ever - and the creepy illustration on the front of a skeleton with glowing red eyes and a black hood definitely helps the ambiance. Great illustrations in the book as well. "

" Poe is a weirdo! Everyone knows that. But he also really loves a good puzzle. (He reminds me of M. Night Shyamalan in that way. Did Poe believe in reincarnation?) So if you want some good puzzles and a great deal of morbid weirdness, give it a shot. "

" Poe is so macabre. And brilliant. The illustrations in this are very vibrant. They kind of feel like an assault on my eyes. Not my cup of tea, but they fit Poe's work really well, I think. "

" As far as I will go when it comes to reading horror. I love Poe. He lived such a sad yet fascinating life, it's interesting to me to read his works and see a product of such a life he lived. "

" Great book for casual Poe fans. Includes some of his most famous and best works. "

" Jorge bought this for me my first birthday I had after meeting him. It's the most beautiful leather bound book ever. Poe was my first favorite author. I love his poetry and stories. I get butterflies remembering all of his tales. "

" to this day scares me. "

" No soy bueno para reviews, pero altamente recomendado, les dara miedo de verdad "

" They are very astmospheric, moody stories. A fun read if you don't linger in that place. "

" I really hate Poe. I'm only reading this because I have to. "

" I love the darkness of Poe's short stories and poems. "

" Love Poe - so creepy! "

" Poe was a true artist of words. His chilling tales will not only send your spine tingling, but also intrigue and astound you. "

" Poe was a HUGE influence in my writing short fiction. His tales are brilliant and psychologically chilling. "

" I think this book is really good! I recomend everyone to read this if the are interested into the life of Edgar Allen Poe. He is a really creppy person but his stories have a way of pulling me in and keep me reading. "

" This author had an interesting/eerie mind. "

" Spanish. This particular edition is beautiful, the cover and the paper. I read it very young and I particularly remember liking the order of the stories. "

" This is one of my favorite "go-to" books... I LOVE IT!!! I just pick a story... I have yet to read all the stories... It may take me a bit - small doses of dreariness, I suppose. :) "

" This is the ultimate book for Edgar Allan Poe fans! "

" A Must read for every person who loves to read. "

" enjoyable as always, but don't read them all back to back! "

" Had read this is high school and hated it. Then had to tutor an 8th grader on the very same book and loved it. "

" I loved Poe's shorter stories, however, his longer ones were a very taxing read - So much unnecessary waffle. "
