3.0étoiles sur 5 Poe's language sculpts worlds of horror and mystery, Jui 28 2004
This review is from: Puffin Classics Tales Of Mystery And Terror (Paperback)
Upon reading this at the age of 11, I was pleased to find Edgar Allan Poe classics such as THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, and THE TELLTALE HEART. His beautiful language pulls you into his various worlds of terrifying and mysterious experiences, illuminated with the sort of suspense only the great authors of the present such as Stephen King can capture. Poe does this so strongly that pictures of his scenarios stick in your mind.

Perhaps that in itself is what makes his stories so frightening.

Like Shakespeare, he uses the speak of his day, but his language is more easy to understand, for the most part. There are a few instances where you may need to decipher his wording, but those occur rarely throughout the anthology. Each separate story stands alone in its level of enjoyablity and horror factor. Each separate story is a masterpiece carefully woven together by Poe's lyrical sentences and I found more new favorites, besides those already mentioned. THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO and THE GOLD BUG now rank high on my list, though THE RAVEN has always been my number one favorite, and I was a tad disappointed to see it wasn't in there.

If you have yet to read Poe, this would be an okay start, though I'd recommend THE RAVEN a cut above this. TALES OF MYSTERY AND TERROR will introduce you to the worlds he creates, merely by the power of his words. It's a sort of magical skill that sets him apart from his back-in-the-day competition, as well as authors today.

This review is from: Puffin Classics Tales Of Mystery And Terror (Paperback)
Mystery, terror, suspense... it's all here. Just look at all the classic stories in this one volume: The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tell Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and his masterpiece the Gold Bug. This is required reading for any fan of Poe, or classic writings in general.
