I am totally amazed why this great collection is sold only just for a couple of dollars. Not only the content is legendary, but the Kindle book is well structured also from the technical point of view (that is not obvious for all Kindle books). At last I have the change to read Poe in original language practically without any costs.Poe is -as almost every horror story fan has admitted- great entertainer and thrilling author who raises also many deep philosophical and psychological questions in his text, but he is also using rich language and many strange and old words that are a real challenge and the place for learning for any medium-skilled foreign reader (like me) who want to improve their English skills.
Absolutely one of the best trades I have done in Amazon.

Edgar Allan Poe Complete Tales and Poems eBook Edgar Allan Poe Maplewood Books Reviews
I started reading Poe in the 8th grade many a many a years ago and have been reading him ever since. I was absolutely delighted when they came out with this edition. Unlike some here, I thought the formatting was great and the navigation on my almost flawless...I had no problems what so ever. Unlike some, I was unable to find any stories or poems that were not published in this collection...perhaps I simply overlooked them. Over the years of reading Poe I don’t think I have missed very much so there was nothing new here for me but that is okay because the vast majority of his work needs to be read and reread as you grow older. Your perception of a story or poem changes as you grow older and a story read through the eyes of a 12 year old child is quite different that reading it though the eyes of a fellow who is well into his 70s. I continue to read him.
Now I particularly enjoyed this version due to the fact that some of the words and language used by Poe is no longer with us – times have changed and along with those changes are changes in the English language. Words Poe used at the time of his writing are no longer is use and many young readers (myself included) simply are unfamiliar with their meaning. The allows you to instantly find the meaning of these words and not have to stop and dig trough your faithful dictionary; my Old Webster’s New Universal Unabridged is falling apart after all these years and my back is bad and I am having problems lifting the thing now.
Anyway, Poe is Poe and despite the dark reputation he has with many readers, contributed a lot to American literature. To understand Poe goes far in understanding the evolution of where we have been from a literary stand point, and how we got to where we are this day and possibly where we are going in the future.
This is one of those collections you probably won’t want to set down and read from cover to cover in one reading but rather one that you will want to pick up periodically and simply enjoy between reading the books you normally read...it gives you a nice break and all of is stories are quite entertaining.
And for those of you that HATE Poe because you were “forced” to read him in high school as require reading...hey you are older now and your time is your own...give him another chance...you might be surprised to learn you actually like the stuff now...on the other hand...maybe not!
I'll be honest, I am quite a fan of Poe's later works, and I have enjoyed many of the stories in here that I'd never heard before. However, I can say that a few of the stories show his earlier work really, really, was boring! Before he began using poetry as his main writing style, he really liked being overly descriptive to the point that your mind numbs. One story early on in this was so bad that I tried skimming to get to "good parts" and couldn't really find anything so I just jumped to the end. Thankfully his writing gets much better, and there are some new gems here to add with his more famous works. I think this is a good collection of stories overall and I appreciate that it let me see how far he's come. If anything, this should be encouraging to any beginning writer that even a great like Poe had to work on his craft!
This was originally reviewed (along with every single story inside this anthology) over at alex-hurst.com, in the series "Tackling Poe". Naturally, to leave a review of everything here would be far too long!
I finished reading Edgar Allan Poe Complete Tales & Poems about a week ago, but I wanted to give myself some time to digest everything, watch The Raven, and to formulate my final thoughts.
To start off, I think that––overall––this collection was fairly good. I did have some issues with it, as I’ve talked about before in some of the earlier parts of this massive review series. I really didn’t like that each story was just a sub-chapter of a larger heading, and formatted in a way that you couldn’t keep track of how much time was left in each segment (I often use this when I’m trying to justify staying up late or reading more during a break), and there were a few incorrectly classed pieces under the Essays section.
The compiler of the work did do a very good job formatting the poetry and fiction prose. They used true type, so even on the , it made for very lovely reading. Little embellishments, like unique titles, made the anthology look more polished.
I would have liked to have seen more context notes, because some of the stories and poems made a great deal more sense with the context I was able to glean from the internet (after only moderate searching). Since all of Edgar Allan Poe’s works are public domain, and free, I expect more of an anthology, in this regard. In many cases, the poetry or fiction notes that Edgar Allan Poe wrote to his editors at the time were not included with the stories, to the detriment of quite a few of them.
However, I know that to compile and format an anthology of this size and breadth is near impossible to do without some technical errors, and as most of my complaints were merely stylistic and subjective, I can recommend this anthology to most readers. Nothing will compare, I think, to seeing Poe’s works on paper (and being able to find quotes at a glance), but this is a close second. The section in the back which lists references to derivative or inspired works was very interesting. Much respect to Maplewood Books.
The anthology is a beast, totaling over 407,000 words total.
Now that I’m finally at the end of the collection, I would like to offer a list of recommendations. I’ll choose ten of his “classics”, ten “unknowns”, and fifteen poems which I do not think are well-known (of course everyone knows to read “The Raven”, “Annabel Lee”, “Lenore”, and so on). All of these are entirely subjective, but I think if you read nothing else but some of the thirty five I suggest here, you’ll have fairly good luck in reading something you’ll enjoy. They are in no particular order.
