My Book-of -the-Month= "The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe"

You can never have too much Poe! One of the greatest writers of all time, Poe has written many stories, poems, and the like. So here they all are, waiting to be read in "The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe" (Seen Below).
                                              
                                                
Included in the book are timeless classics, including "The Black Cat", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Masque of the Red Death", and so much more!
The types of literature and literary devices in this novel are so numerous and well used, you will be hard-pressed to find anything quite like it. In between the covers lay devices such as symbolism, similes, metaphors, and so much more!
As a reader of this fantastic book, I have to give it five stars! Everything flowed well and made perfect sense, but what really got me was "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". The story kept me trapped inside a world of gruesomeness and intrigue, sending delightful chills down my spine every step of the way. I especially loved the part of the tale when the murder was revealed to be an escaped Orangutan, who was merely trying to give the victim a haircut. Such strangely satisfying writing is not easy to come by, so you can save a lot of time searching for a good book right now just by choosing this wonderful collection.
And remember - You can never have too much Poe!

  1. Well-writtena and very interesting blog posts, Austin! You really are an Edgar Allan Poe fan! When you write titles of books, you want to underline them. The titles of the short stories inside the book collection get quoted. Also, your blogs are out of order. If you look at the edit box and click on "post options," you need to change the dates to get the blog posts to move into position. Otherwise, awesome work!
