About this audiobook

Gothic master Edgar Allan Poe's complete works are collected in this multivolume set by Blackstone Audio. Here are his short stories, detective fiction, and poems in all their mysterious and macabre glory. Also included are Poe's literary reviews and editorial musings, comprising an often caustic analysis of the poetry, drama, and fiction of the period. This collection includes Poe's famous stories "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Tell-Tale Heart." Poe's poetry features prominently in this collection, with well-known classics such as "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," and "Lenore" presented alongside lesser-known works like "Eulalie" and "The Conqueror Worm." Poe fans will be treated to his fearless and acerbic analysis of then-modern works, a practice earning him the reputation as a "tomahawk man" in artistic circles.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure what's going on here. This isn't a collection of short stories, neither does it have more than one narrator, and I can't seem to refund it. I should have taken a chance and just bought them all separately as I did the "Tell-Tale Heart"
