Picked up from the free shelf at the used book store today. This is a fairly old paperback (copyright 1960) but Poe never goes out of style! From the back cover:

The Pit and the Pendulum...The Purloined Letter...The Tell-Tale Heart...A Descent into the Maelstrom...and six other choice chillers by the acknowledged master of mystery, fantasy, and horror.

These ten absorbing stories, selected by a famed anthologist of science-fiction and the supernatural, prove that even after a century Poe's imagination still works its macabre magic.

So I know I have read "The Black Cat," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "Annabel Lee," but I don't think I had ever read any of the other items in this book. As with most collections, it was an uneven ride. I thought "The Purloined Letter" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" were not great, but enjoyed most of the others.
