Poe's range, from tight psychological horror to verse built on sound and repetition, is what a collection of this size sets out to show.
Tales and poems are held together in 544 paperback pages rather than issued as separate slim volumes, which makes it simple to move between the horror stories, the early detective fiction and the poetry in one sitting. The paperback binding keeps the weight manageable for a book of this length.
Format and contents:
• 544 paperback pages of Poe's tales and poems
• horror, mystery and verse placed side by side
• a lighter option than a hardbound omnibus
• complete English texts carried through the volume
A sensible choice for students, first-time readers of Poe and anyone restocking a classics shelf, from Fingerprint! Publishing at Boipoka.
