The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe by Edgar Allan Poe

3.0

I read Poe's Complete Tales and Poems from start to finish over a number of months. Some pieces were fantastic but others weren't to my taste at all, I wouldn't recommend reading all of Poe's work like this unless you're a big fan. I like his poetry and his horror, I will be rereading these pieces later. Poe writes in a very wide range of styles and was enormously innovative for his time, but I feel that alot of it hasn't aged well. His satire, mystery, adventure and other tales could feel quite dated and I found some of it to be slow going.
