Some of the best stories for this time of the year! I had no idea that Poe could write masterfully in so many genres. No matter what story or poem it was, there was always a hint of the spooky. I could read the poem "Annabel Lee" a million times, it never stops being hauntingly beautiful. What was the most interesting experience was listening to a couple of the stories on The Classic Tales podcast. B.J. Harrison narrates "The Purloined Letter" and "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" with suspense, just enough sound effects, and an intelligent commentary. I definitely recommend the podcast. More people should read Poe's lesser-known stories, as he writes compelling detective tales.
