Title: ……………MORE THAN A POET
Review: Whenever I've heard the name, Edgar Allen Poe, I've linked his name to dark poetry. …Obviously, I'm lacking in literary sophistication.Nevertheless, I've been reading some of the classics & have found -to my surprise, that most are interesting & have a welcome depth not found in modern " literature".Poetry is still beyond my appreciation - but, (who knew) the stories of the poet are great!

Title: Fairly good.
Review: Short stories are a certain type of literature that are not necessarily easy to read. To enjoy them, one needs patience and a willingness to slow one's reading to catch the nuances of the tale being told. The stories presented here are not, inmy opinion, the "best."

Title: A nice collection!
Review: This is a very nice collection of smart and entertaining short stories, some of them detective murder mysteries, while others involving political or even military mysteries. The stories take us back to the first half of the 20th century, and many of them give us a sense of British bemused story-telling of that period.A very enjoyable reading experience!

Review: Fairly standard short stories- I consider some of them great such as The Dead by Joyce; To build a Fire by Jack London--actually they are all great. I do have a hard time reading Ring Larder.

Review: Maybe it's just me. This was a little difficult to read. Some of the stories were interesting and some a little weird.
