Great collection! Fabulous illustration!
This is a larger format than the 1930 original printing ,which I also own. If you like Poe, this collection is great but the artwork of Harry Clarke illustrating the stories adds an unbelievably,vivid complement to the author's work. The original sells for hundreds of dollars when it can be found. this one was less than $20. the only thing missing are a few (3 or 4) color illustrations. Buy it!.

Great Buy
I bought this as a gift and it was a big hit. Also when I bought the book originally it said it would take a long time for the book to ship, but came within a few days. I was extremely pleased with this order! If you like Poe, you should love this.

Better rendition, added cover art and illustrations!
Great read! Cover art and illustrations are entertaining and being out the narrative! I wish it included the poems ( they do have a complete one without illustrations) but this book is a better rendition

What A Beautiful Volume !
This is an absolutely beautiful leather-bound volume of Edgar Allan Poe's 'Tales OfMystery and Imagination', illustrated by the great Harry Clarke and published byBarnes and Noble. It is packed with black and white, colour and red and black plates.My father bought me the same edition when I was a kid but I lost it somewhere along thelong road of my life. It's good to have the stories back again in such sumptuous raiments!If you haven't read Poe before it might take a bit of adjustment to absorb his florid stylisticexcesses. In the introduction by Neil Gaiman he suggests reading the stories out loud.I couldn't agree more. Doing this really brings them to life even if you feel a bit silly doing so!The book is fit to be an heirloom. A beautifully made tribute to this great master of the macabre.

Good .... if you can get into the old fashioned style
I really loved the nightmarish stories of Edgar Allan Poe as a child. I bought this for my cousin's daughter (aged 12) but I think the old fashioned style put her off reading it.

An interesting read with illustrations that added to the experience. A good introduction to Poe. Didn't bother with the D.H.Lawrence section
