only 12 copies left

There are just 12 remaining copies of this magnificent edition of Poe available at Centipede Press. http://www.centipedepress.com -- an edition limited to 500 copies and featuring an Introduction by ye book's editor, S. T. Joshi. It's a massive 800-page, low-cost edition of Poe's finest fiction, with ribbon marker, head and tail bands, cloth binding, with an embossed Poe signature on ye front board. Inside one finds several photographs of Poe, Layout is attractive and text is easy to read.

Even if ye have an old edition of Poe in some dusty pocket of your grim and ghastly chamber, this edition is worth getting, especially at this low price. Although quick thick in size, the tome is not overly weighty and I find it easy to hold as I peruse ye Contents. This is a series of books from Centipede Press that concentrates on whut S. T. considers classics of supernatural fiction, from such early tales as "Metzengerstein" and "Berenice" to masterworks such as "Ligeia" and "The Fall of the House of Usher." Ye jacket is printed on a very sturdy stock and features a photo on the inside-back flap that I don't recall having seen--a rather intense-looking Poe, as if he has been dwelling on dark matters. I have been obsess'd with Poe ever since I first read him (in junior high school) and sat bewitch'd at cinemas watching ye Roger Corman films. Poe haunts much of my fiction, and actually appears as a character in ye novel I penned with David Barker, Witches in Dreamland.
