This cat is so freaky...
Poes popularity has fallen much in recent years and as a child of the 70s myself its only because I had a very eccentric grandmother that even I was introduced to Poes poetry.
This book however was highyl dissapointing. If you like poes poetry I suggest you stay away from this book else it might taint your thoughts about Poe and his work as a poet.
He stepped outside his hedgehog concept and wrote a book that is basicly a compilation of short, bad, horror stories....and did I mention the BAD part? You should pay particular attention to that because they were bad...And I dont mean like in the modern, cool sense of the word bad...i mean bad...ike smells like rotten eggs bad.
I took the hit on this one for you kids...if you have questions email me and ill tell you again how bad it was. But what am I even wasting my time for...no one likes poe anymore, if they even know who he was at all.
Dang im such a geek.
