Antique books Poe 1904 The Works of Edgar Allan Poe 10 miniature volumes all original gilded pages
When I think of Poe, images come to in mind of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead.. He has such a reputation for tales of terror that were easy to read. His dark and haunting lyric poetry will send chills down your spine.
