5By Life!?Good DeepOMG, THIS MAN IS AMAZING!
5By Dr. SockieSo amazing, Edgar’s work in this book has given me the chills and I believe it foreshadows the deaths of others from his different stories like Cask of Amontillado. I checked out a graphic novel called Poe with his work like Masque of The Red Death, Cask of Amontillado, Pit and the Pendulum, The Raven, The Bells, and so much more and it is visually stunning! Give this book a try and you’ll be having chills while sleeping!Amazing
5By diversifiabilityJust an absolutely beautiful and amazing piece of poetryPoe’s Raven
4By Ras OtisIf thy wish is to entreat thee, with a poem so ghastly, beastly, make it known there is a freely written poem of wanton score. With no doubt, The Raven, driven to the edge of conscious reason made a mark of unseen vision thrust into the reader’s core. Will it bore you? Nevermore!Nevermore said the Raven

5By Yas M.AliVery spooky!!Short and Spooky
3By Emé EsquivelIt was okay. Cool imagery. Spooky-ooky, ya know? Had to read it in a British dialect. Felt like a depressed, sleep-deprived Dr. Seuss. I was like, "is this guy hydrated?". Anyway, it's short -- decent read if you're waiting in line at the DMV.
