I'm not the biggest Poe fan, though I do think his writing style is without equal. Plus, his detective stories were definitely an influence on Arthur Conan Doyle. (  ) ladygata | Oct 12, 2009 |  Read the bulk of these as an older child decades ago, but some were new to me this time. The landscape-descriptive ones (Domain of Arnheim; Landor's Cottage) did not appeal to me but were interesting as examples of P's writing before he started the heavy supernatural and mystery things; the same descriptions are used in the later tales to more evocative result. Dupin in the mysteries was more Holmes-like than I had recalled. P's evident philosophical and linguistic erudition had completely passed me by in my youth. His style seems more lush to me than it did then. And I hadn't noticed the recurring themes of burial alive, of strength of will causing the dead to retain their souls, of the perverse impulse (specifically mentioned in both the Imp of the Perverse and in the Black Cat). Still good reading! (  ) lidaskoteina | Sep 11, 2009 | This book had 5 short stories. My favorite story was 'William Willson' He, but his name was not William Willson, met a same name man at school. Both of them are alike and William1 was afraid of William2. Wiliiam1 quited school and went to a lot of places. But Wiliiam2 was almost always near William1. At last William1 tried to kill William2. Another stories were also exciting for me to read so I read this early. (  ) nyakyakyanya | Oct 12, 2008 | This collection of stories and poems defines what psychological terror, the true guts of horror without gore and blood, really is. In the Cask of Amontillado, we see something so subtly horrible, it doesn't shock us all at once, it takes time. Brick by brick. Beautiful work of art! ( ) stpnwlf | Jul 17, 2007 | A classic. I love msot of Poe's stories, and their wonderful creepy atmosphere. (  ) isiswardrobe | Mar 19, 2006 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
