The Raven and the Monkey's Paw: Classics of Horror and Suspense from the Modern Library
by
Poe, Edgar Allan,
Modern Library
This is a timeless collection of tales and poems to scare the wits out of you. The beauty of these stories and poems lies in their readability: ideal for sharing aloud around the campfire or for a quick, thrilling dip . . . under the covers with a flashlight. The writing itself sends as many awe-inspired shivers down the spine as do the ghosts and goblins on these pages. Stories include classics by Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Wharton, and Dickens.
Unique and provocative selections from a great diversity of voices...all personally recommended by the independent booksellers of America.

In this book, which is full of observations and maps, we see the world through the eyes of a Cheerio-obsessed twelve-year-old with the wisdom of an old soul. It is funny, tender, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and full of insight. On every page there was something that I wanted to read aloud to anyone who would listen.--Jake Hallman, A Great Good Place for Books (Oakland, CA)
