Chapter Labeling

Proper chapter labeling would make this collection 1000x better. Great collection but unable to navigate easily.

Narrator is not the best

EAP is my favourite author of all time and the narrator that read this unabridged version was annoying and robot like; although, he spoke clearly, he never changed his tone.

Could have been a Five-Star recording...

..but it's still amazing. This is a phenomenal collection. It is complete, exhaustive, and organized lovingly and logically. I love Edgar Allen Poe's writing. I am not a poetry fan, so it helps that the prose is presented early and the poems later, but if you are an afficianado, you can start at Chapter 107 and enjoy. Poe writes clearly, descriptively, and with a full understanding of what is chilling and what is infectiously fascinating. EAP is rightfully celebrated for his engrossing exploration of dark subject matter - but his mystery stories, lighthearted farces, philosophical expositions, plays, and science fiction/fantasy narratives are equally compelling. Wow. This compendium would benefit from two innovations in my opinion: (1) A Navigable menu (although the appended PDF is greatly appreciated); (2) A variety of narrators. Philippe Duquenoy is a very good reader - but his pacing is staccato and his voice quickly becomes background noise (unless there is dialogue.. Duquenoy is excellent at giving voice to characters). I sped up the reading to 1.50X with no loss of clarity and some improvement in the annoying lilting Duquenoy exhibits at the end of sentences (I recommend this technique).

TO THE PRODUCERS: The PDF is appreciated but off by a chapter..fix the menu so readers can search out specific entries, please; Adding another reader for some entries would keep listeners interested and elevate the overall performance considerably.

Altogether this collection is masterly with room for improvement. Even as presented, I give it a solid 3.5 stars out of 5. This collection is highly recommended.

tedious writing

I bought this collection for some of the horror stories and poetry, but it feels like a chore to get through it. many of the stories AR poorly planned; for example, the detective stories have copious amounts of exposition without a lot of action. I also dislike Edgar Allan Poe's writing style. although these are works of fiction, the writing style is better Suited for technical applications.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly

I found some of the stories riveting, and others left me wanting. Overall eloquent. The narrator is decent enough. At no point was it difficult to understand what was being said. However most of the time it felt very clinical, like it was being read at me instead of read to me.

Incroyable!

Excellente narration d'une oeuvre géniale. Prix remarquable, qualité hors pair. Quand on compare au prix de certains best-sellers contemporains , on ne peut que rester bouche-bée: l'oeuvre entière d'Edgar A. Poe pour moins cher qu'un polar de 5 heures. incroyable!

You Should Know

Somewhere in the very beginning chapters, the entire book gets moved back two chapters. If you download the table of contents and illustrations that are associated with this particular book (available on the description page of the book) you actually can pick and choose what you're listening to. I think chapter three runs into chap four and five. Not exactly sure, but I can say that the very first story, after all the intros, starts on chapter 6. So the story The Unparalleled Adventures of One Hans Pfaal is Chapter 6. And the book continues to be off by two chapters. I think the narrator is great. I don't see what people are complaining about.

Things we didn't know

I like listening to this before I go to sleep. You'll never tire of this reading and there are many writings I never knew, I never heard anyone mention Poe was one of the first science fiction writers but that's probably why my dad was so fond of him. I am really enjoying it and love listening to these stories

No chapter titles makes it worthless!

Why do they bother to put in all the time to make this audiobook and then make it worthless by not bothering to title the chapters?

There are 176 chapters.

Sure, you can download a pdf of the chapters, but then you've got to print out 7 pages of chapters! Are you going to take those with you when you listen on your phone?

Why not actually label the chapters? Other books do.

Wonderful!

Poe has long been one of my all time favorite authors. Duquenoy's rendition is splendid.

Very poor naration

I would not recommend this book to anyone. Very poor naration, it seems as if the narrator is in a hurry without much to add in the way he reads Also there is no way to go to a story you would like read. The worse and least entertaining book i could imagine.

Wrong narrator for subject

The narrator was very boring and had the wrong voice and tone for the subject. I couldn't listen to the whole thing.

It needs wisper-synch

I've always been fascinated by the genius of Edgar Allan Poe. I knew there had to be more to him than horror, macabre, and melancholy. And there is. But this edition of his complete works needs to be synched with the Kindle edition.

lecture mécanique

déjà que ces textes ont beaucoup vieilli, lus au kilomètre sans aucune respiration ni enthousiasme, ils sont imbuvables. j'arrête au quart du livre. comparé à Moby Dick ... je préférerais réécouter ce dernier plutôt que de continuer celui-ci.

Lu trop vite, sans intonation

Ce qui est génial, chez Poe, c'est les atmosphères et les sous entendus. Or, ici, le narrateur lit beaucoup trop rapidement et ne laisse pas suffisamment de pauses pour que l'on puisse se plonger dans l'intrigue.
