Pure Classicness.

A collection by legendary Edgar Allan Poe. What is there to say? You can’t get any more classic than this; which is good, and bad, depending on how you want to look at it. Must say Poe is consistently good, yet rarely awesome, at least in my experience. I hate poetry, hence my rating for the poems; if you are fond of the genre you might enjoy them though.

Go for the Best, consider the Good, whatever the Meh.

The Best :
★★★★☆ “The Black Cat.”
★★★★☆ "The Fall of the House of Usher." [3.5]
★★★★☆ “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.” [3.5] The Good :
★★★☆☆ "The Tell-Tale Heart."
★★★☆☆ “Ligeia.”

★★★☆☆ “A Descent into the Maelström.” [2.5]
★★★☆☆ “The Purloined Letter.” [2.5]

Puro Clasicismo.

Una colección por el legendario Edgar Allan Poe. ¿Qué hay para decir? No se puede ser más clásico que esto; lo cual es bueno, y malo, dependiendo del ojo con que quieras verlo.
