And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the sense?” ― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart One of the most unforgettable short stories. Scary as anything too even reading it today. I picked this book to do a report on in my college literature class. I am sure most have read it but if not..do it now! A great little masterpiece and just writing this is making me want to read it all over again! no reviews | add a review

Edgar Allan Poe remains the unsurpassed master of works of mystery and madness in this outstanding collection of Poe's prose and poetry are sixteen of his finest tales, including "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "William Wilson," "The Black Cat," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "Eleonora". Here too is a major selection of what Poe characterized as the passion of his life, his poems - "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," Ulalume," "Lenore," "The Bells," and more, plus his glorious prose poem "Silence - A Fable" and only full-length novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.

For over 150 years, Poe has terrorized readers with tales that explore the dark side of the human mind. I prefer those that get into the action immediately such as "The Tell-Tale Heart", or " The Cask of Amontillado" rather than those in which he "cogitates" for several pages, such as "The Imp of the Perverse" or "Murder in the Rue Morgue".
And of course, The Raven is an unforgettable, creepy poem!
