This is a collection of some of Poe's short horror stories. I will say pretty much what I always say when I review a book of short stories – it varied for me, depending on the story. I liked some, some were o.k., I was bored by some. In this case, I had read a few before (The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum), and mostly liked those better than the others, with one exception. Probably my favourite story in the book was Hop-Frog, which I'd never read before. Most of the others, though, were forgettable for me. Overall, I'd say “o.k.” ( )
