5.0 out of 5 stars Aaron's Corner Mar 22 2004
By Aaron
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Vincent Price and Chandler Brossard do a great job of collecting some of Edgar Allan Poe's finest works, in their story collection 18 Best Stories by Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe's short stories left me in suspense and surprise (it was the first time I ever read Poe literature). I could not put the book down. Since the first time I picked this book up, I've become fascinated with Poe's literature. I can thank Price and Brossard for their wonderful choice in stories, but can mainly thank the writer, Edgar Allan Poe, for bringing such great literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tell Tale Heart Nov 3 2002
By ardent_lover
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This collection is a wonderful introduction to the master's works. Poe is perhaps one of the most influential writers America has ever produced. Though known mostly as a critic in his own time, his stories were translated into French by the great French Poet, Charles Baudelaire, and thus his reputation started to spread in Europe, where he had a deep effect on writers such as Dickens and Doestoyevsky. And it's no wonder, since his stories are excellently crafted with many layers of subtle psychological meanings. "The Tell Tale Heart" for instance stands out in my mind as one of the penultimate tales of terror that was ever created by his sometimes feverish imagination. It could almost be read as a confession by a madman in an asylum. Then there's the deeply symbolic tale, "The Mosque of the Red Death." A truly moral tale for a man who had a rep for being a drunkard in his own lifetime. Strange, Hemingway, who drank gallons of booze, is never critiqued for this weakness, but poor Poe has suffered for his malady and is not given his proper place in the curriculum of our universities, though now his works are widely read and are being reassessed. For Poe was indeed a great master and perhaps 200 hundred years ahead of his time.

So read Poe - and you'll be equally horrorfied and entertained forevermore!
