laurenjpegler's review against another edition
2.0
I wanted to pick this up today to try and reach a new reading goal, but it turns out I've already read it. Thankfully, I read it this year, so it still goes towards my goal. If you'd like to read my review on the larger collection, the Penguin English Library one, then I'll direct you here.
The reason I rated this a star higher than the larger collection was because there were only 3 stories in this collection, and I enjoyed one immensely. So it bumped up the rating by a star. If you're not interested in reading my longer review, I'll end by simply saying: Edgar Allan Poe excels in verse, not so much prose.
