I enjoyed reading through some of my favorite tales and discovering ones I hadn't read. I also enjoyed reading the essays on Poe, two of my favorites being by King and Grafton.

I've loved Edgar Allan Poe since the first time I read The Raven. I think I was all of 10 at the time and while I didn't understand much of it, I was hooked. There was something about the raven, at first maybe a comfort and then becoming something sinister, at least that was how I saw it the first time.

The last story, was totally new to me and I loved how much it scared me, no horrified me.

Reading how he impacted other writers was cool and there were things mentioned that I didn't know either about the commentary or the commentator.

I would definitely recommend this to any fan of the genre.
