This Edgar Allan Poe book is separated by his Fiction, Poetry and Non Fiction. The book is just under 600 pages, but that is to be expected when it contains so much content! This book is full of Poe’s finest works which includes his only completed novel – The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. I only read a few of the smaller poems, several of his stories I had read in various classes over the years as well and I quite appreciate his works. A great compilation of his works if you are looking to get all of the Poe that you can in just one place.
I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.
(There are 17 included in Fiction, 43 poems and 3 non-fiction works included in this anthology.)
