The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was better

I really enjoyed reading Frankenstein, especially the way that it was written as a story inside a story inside a story. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one that I have not ever read, but I will have to make time to read it soon.
Lately of course, I have been reading all Poe, all the time. It is really wonderful literature no matter how many times you read it. |

I'll have to start brushing up on Poe again, before "the" time comes.

Today I was walking through the book store, and happened to be looking in the bargain bin and, as fate would have it, I came across a hard cover old-fashioned compilation of Poe stories. Of course I had to buy the book because it was only $20. It contains The Complete Short Stories, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, and The Raven and Other Poems. Previously I had many Poe books with only a few stories and poems in each, and now I have just one nice, big compilation.

Quote: Aren't they nice? I have one that I use for my Poe Horror class. Saves my eyeballs from having to read them off the computer. "These violent delights have violent ends.
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume" -Romeo and Juliet |

*Applauds William's new purchase*
I have to admit I have my brother's special lady friend to thank for my complete collection of Poe stories. She knows I am a Nox Arcana fan (She LOVED Blood Of The Dragon too) and so she got me a book of the Complete Works of Poe for Christmas one year. It's GOOD stuff. Sometimes we just forget just HOW good it is.

Was it Barnes & Nobles' edition? I have to admit they have a pretty good publishing program. I think I have all of Poe's stories in some form or another. The problem I have is that, like with "Dracula," I keep finding different editions with great artwork in them. Derek
