Reviews

[Larry Godding · Rating 5 out of 5]

Twelve volumes in all, this is an excellent collection of short stories and poems that evoke the themes and settings of Edgar Allen Poe. Obsession, consumption, unruly ravens, houses that need a lot of work; ghosts, angels and demons; phantoms and phantom limbs, to name just a few. Some pieces even explore a familiar Poe story or poem from an unexpected point of view. The stories are quite short, so the authors have had to work at compressing their tales, achieving their effects as economically as possible. Well done!
