I taught these to juniors in American Literature, and many of the themes and motifs repeat in these Gothic tales, but Poe's style is often engaging and enchanting!When you read these investigative short stories, your analytical soul will thrive.
The Gold-Bug - read 17th-18th April 2012This is such an effortless, fluent, fantastically formed short story. A curious story about a hunt for treasure, and a code-breaking pirate map. Great detail has gone into the execution of the tale, and I have just read that it was the apparent inspiration of R. L. Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' which I had no idea about, but is easy to see why!The Murders In The Rue Morgue read 7th May'The first detective story' Truly fascinating, this short story is
A man of intense emotion, the innermost recesses of Edgar Allan Poe's soul are clearly visible through the varied emotional states of these characters. They explore all facets of humanity, ranging from the intellectual, the spiritual, and the physical. Some stories have a greater personal significance than others, which were written for commercial purposes.
As usual it was short but not w=sweet...there is an amazing balance of pain & pleasure!
We all have our favorites.
I haven't read Poe since junior high and so I decided to read his "best" short stories in keeping with my eerie October reads. Overall, I loved the collection. I was able to see just why Poe is such an icon. His work was chilling, but not graphic or scary enough to keep me, a total wuss, from reading it.The Gold-Bug - *** stars, good introduction to Poe's work because only the very last lines were creepy.The Murders in the Rue Morgue - ** stars, pretty gory, ridiculous plot. It did introduce me
