I finally finished The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe today. I'll admit I did not read the criticism portion, and only read some of the poetry. However, I read all the tales, and enjoyed the endeavor, as time-consuming as it was. Poe was clearly a writer of great talent. Much of his work falls in the category of what we now call speculative fiction, while much of his work is much in the vein of mystery and suspense. Most of the tales are fairly dark, but now and then a fairly amusing tale can be found. Very few of the stories were disappointing though, being brought to some kind of satisfying conclusion.
I don't know what shall be next. We'll find that out on Monday.
And don't forget to vote in the poll! You've only got until the end of the month.
