The Reader's Book of Edgar Allan Poe (an Opera Literary Classic): Arranged for Optimum Reading Enjoyment - Includes Foreword and Bios

At the time of my writing this foreword, it has been around one-hundred seventy-three years since Mr. Poe passed on. Think on that for a moment, folks. Time has not diminished the trauma and quiet terror of the victim in the Pit and the Pendulum, the joviality of the murderous Montressor in The Cask of Amontillado or of the constant and increasingly desperate pleas of sanity by the unnamed assailant in The Tell-Tale Heart. And what of the tender devastation of the broken-hearted boy in Annabel Lee, the superstitious mourner in The Raven, or the deceptively iron-willed Ligeia? Two centuries later these works still hold up, staying in your mind far longer than you thought they would; and breathing quietly in your ear long after the book has been closed and put away. --From the Foreword by, Jennie Lee Schade<br/>(© Copywritten Material—Used With Permission)<br/><br/>This twenty-one poems and stories by Edgar Allan Poe in this remarkable Volume were arranged together in a sequence meant to enhance the reader’s experience and enjoyment of Poe’s work.
