I bought it to be able to look up his stories when I need to, not to read all of the stories in a row

Ok so I was bored for most of it but there were two works in here that I really enjoyed and a few that were alright. But the cover? Sickening! That I lived for!

Sonunda bu külliyatı bitirmiş olmak güzel tabii, bir hayli zamanımı -yaklaşık 4 sene- almış olsa da. Oturup burada size Poe övecek değilim, adam Poe sonuçta. Okuyun bana ne.

4/5 stars!
It's not that I didn't love every story in the collection, however, I did learn that I need absolute silence and no distractions while I was reading. Especially for the section "Tales of the Macabre". It was really difficult (for me personally) to get into this collection since they put his first work at the beginning so it wasn't the Poe I was expecting. However, I do recommend this lovely collection and I'm sure I'll pick it up again in the future and just take my time with it.
