I bought this book primarily to find out Silverman's take on Poe's being found (just before his death) in clothes that did not belong to him (as indicated in a video in the Great Authors series). That odd fact, combined with the alter egos he created in stories like "Fall of the House of Usher" made me wonder if Poe had some sort of alter ego himself. Though the clothing issue is not completely ...             Edgar Allan Poe : A Love Story83 reviews Xavier Joseph Carbajal New Future Pub, 2000 Dark magic...... my friends and I love Poe. We are using this tape for our tenth grade creative writing class. It tells a sad tale lots of us artsy students can relate to. Sometimes we are misunderstood. Just like Edgar.             The Castle Tower Lighthouse (Edgar Font's Hunt for a House to Haunt)10 reviews Armadillo Books, 2006 Great!!! I came across this book by chance, so my wife and I bought a copy for our neice. We read it first and absolutly loved it, with that said we kept the copy and bought another just for her... We can't wait for the next adventure!!             Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness15 reviews Edgar Allan Poe, Gris Grimly Atheneum, 2004 You've never seen Poe like this... You've never seen Poe like this before, the nighmare world he creates in his ingenious horror stories comes to life with madly grinning figures trapped in a landscape of sweltering oatmeal colored skies and stark, grasping trees. Gris Grimly breaks through the cliche of Poe illustrations with his brilliant use of color and humor that embodies the manic glee of the doomed that characterizes Poe's ...             Many Mansions: The Edgar Cayce Story of Reincarnation17 reviews Gina Cerminara Signet, 1967 Helps you deal with life better A fabulous book, extremely well written. This is one of the few books that has impacted my way of thinking. After reading this I find it easier to accept a lot of depressing things I see in this world.             Edgar Allan Poe : Poetry and Tales (Library of America)6 reviews Edgar Allan Poe Library of America, 1984 For the SERIOUS Poe lover. If you want the real Poe, the Library of America version of Poe's Poetry and Tales is the best bargain going. This volume should give either a lover of Poe or a serious scholar a handy volume of the Poe canon. I am not going to extol the virtues of Edgar Allan Poe. He was one of our most important national authors and an innovator of forms and genres. Master of the macabre, inventor of the ...             The Pit and the Pendulum6 reviews Edgar Allan Poe Travelman Pub, 2000 One of Poe's best I really enjoy very much Poe's short stories, mainly those where he gives us only a glimpse in some part of his main character's life. "The pit and the pendulum" has almost no begginig and no end. It's the story of a man condemned to death by the Inquisiton. This death is not a simple one, since he is thrown in a dungeon with no light and lots of dangers. This short story is full of anguish and ...             Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe70 reviews Edgar Allan Poe, 1966 The Enduring Master of the Macabre Edgar Allan Poe, born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19, 1809, died October 7, 1849. What is it that makes an author famous? I don't mean famous in the sense a news article reports that "Jack Greylea's novels sold 15 million copies last year," but in the sense that he is thought of as being profound, and seminal. That he is quoted, and scholars analyse his works, and he is looked upon as ...             D'Aulaires' Book of Trolls (New York Review Children's Collection)6 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar D'Aulaire NYR Children's Collection for ages 7-12, 2006 Roll with the Troll A great read filled with colorful illustrations & all the usual excitement you'd expect to find in a troll adventure. Of course, there is also a beautiful princess to be rescued. I don't know why Amazon lists the reading level as "baby, pre-school"!!! No baby or pre-schooler would sit through the first page. Maybe the illustrations would interest that group, but the amount of reading is far too ...             The Collected Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Modern Library)14 reviews Edgar Allan Poe Modern Library, 1992 Fantastic Poe! Poe is one of the best horror writers ever to have lived. I have read all of his works. Some of his best stories are The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of Red Death, The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontaiado, The Pit and the Pendelum, and The Tell-Tale Heart. His great poems include-The Raven and The Bells. Poe is a fantastic author, and his creepy tales of the dark side of life should be ...             Graphic Classics: Edgar Allan Poe (Graphic Classics (Barron Paperback))4 reviews Edgar Allan Poe, Clive Barker, ... Eureka Productions, 2001 Gothic comics - An outstanding blend of words and pictures Edgar Allan Poe is a natural choice as the first volume of the Graphic Classics volumes, a series partially inspired by the Classic Illustrated collection of comic books, which attempted to lure young readers into reading respectable, "classic" authors through the comics medium. This new incarnation, however, takes an entirely different tact, combining fantastic literary stories with equally ...             The Black Cat3 reviews Edgar Allan Poe, Alan James Robinson Northeastern Univ Pr, 1986 This is my favorite story by Edgar Allan Poe. This book is about an alcoholic and what happens to his life after he gets hooked on "the drink." It's a very morbid and suspenseful story             Edgar Allan Poe's the Masque of the Red Death3 reviews Edgar Allan Poe Troll Communications, 1982 Red Death The book The Masque of the Red Death is by Edgar Allan Poe. I thought this book was great. It is about a ghost that haunts a castle. All the people were scared and they could not escape the ghost. The "red death" killed many people. If you want to find out what happens you should read this book.             Bernie Magruder and the Bats in the Belfry (Edgar Allen Poe Award. Best Juvenile (Awards))3 reviews Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Atheneum, 2003 This book is sure to entertain any reader. Bernie Magruder's life should be ordinary and normal, yet it isn't. For one thing, strange and dangerous bats from South America are said to be flying towards his town and everyone is scared stiff at the very idea of bats moving in. Then there is the problem of the bells, the church bells. Every hour they clang out, "Abide with me," and the racket is beginning to have a very negative effect on ...             Edgar Allan Poe: Sixty-Seven Tales4 reviews Edgar Allan Poe Gramercy, 1993 masterful works from the master of suspense Being British, I can't comment on his significance in America, but I would like to praise him as one of the best writers of all time. Not content with single handedly defining new genre - The detective story (Murders in the Rue Morgue), the adventure story (The Gold Bug), he went on to write stories which would chill the spines of his readers for centuries to come. This book covers all his best ...             Under Town (Edgar & Ellen)5 reviews Charles Ogden Aladdin, 2006 Edgar & Ellen: Evil Pair "Edgar & Ellen Under Town" can keep you occupied for hours! These humorous twins scrape up more terror in a new book! This interesting book keeps you up for hours. Edgar and Ellen have more zany ideas than ever. For example, they make catapults and giant windmills. This book kept me up for a very long time. Also, this book uses more difficult vocabulary than the average kid's book. I know ...             Great Expectations3 reviews Charles Dickens W. W. Norton, 1999 One of the Greatest Novels Ever Written Why do I come here to "review" this? It isn't anyone's book club selection, no. But tonight I want to talk about this incomparably rich and wonderful book, and how as a fourteen year old kid I simply sank into it, taking it slowly week by week, glorying in its mysteries, its great grotesque portrait of Miss Havisham in her rotting bridal finery, its often painful recounting of a young boy's ...             Edgar Cayce's Story of the Origin and Destiny of Man3 reviews Lytle W. Robinson Neville Spearman (Jersey) Ltd, 1972 Astonishing, intuitive perspective on human history! I read this book several years ago and was absolutely enthralled by Edgar Cayce's vision of human "evolution." He speaks of the many epochs on earth from when human beings first incarnated on the planet, through the rise and fall of great civilizations and into the future of today's civilization. Cayce takes you on a journey of spiritual evolvement through the ages. Whether you lend credence to ...             The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe: A Kaplan SAT Score-Raising Classic (Kaplan Score Raising Classics)4 reviews Edgar Poe Kaplan Publishing, 2005 Fantastic novel if you want to learn SAT words or you love Poe Kaplan has created a few books that help with the development of learning SAT vocabulary. This book, which has many of the well-known Edgar Allan Poe stories, does likewise, defining over seven hundred vocabulary words on the opposite page or in the glossary. The neat aspect of this book is that it not only defines the various difficult words on the opposite page, but also puts the words in bold ...             Anthony Browne's King Kong: From the Story Conceived by Edgar Wallace & Merian C.
