5.0

I just love Poe. I'm so totally biased! This compilation has many of the stories found in other anthologies. What's neat about this particular book is that it was put together for Poe's 200th birthday (woo-hoo!). It contains numerous essays written by today's current mystery writers (King, Grafton, etc.). Kinda cool to see how Poe influenced them.
