Thanks to the kiwi book lovers GR group - I got to pick my own prize and this is what I chose. It is stunning. A mix of short stories (some I have read before, others I was not familiar with) and poems. The illustrations are steampunk-fabulous.

Beautiful artwork that complements Poe's stories and poems.

It was October, time to delve into the dark quarters of our world. Poe is Poe! Poe is wonderful. Poe with SteamPunk art is even better.

I quite like Poe's writing, and I enjoyed the art, but the two never seemed to amplify one another. I'll just finish reading his works as text only.Library copy.

First thing i'd like to mention is that this book is NOT by Megan Bryant. It is actually illustrated by Zdenko Basic and Manuel Sumberac, and the stories and poems are obviously written by Edgar Allen Poe, which brings me to my next point. How awesome is this book?!! To bring these Poe classics together with steampunk illustrations was genius. They go together perfectly!! I 100% agree that his works transcend their own times, and I think this was the perfect way to show everyone that. Reading t

If you combined clockwork gears, parasols, and air balloons with Edgar Allan Poe, what would you get? Steampunk: Poe ! This is the first collection ever of Poe stories illustrated with the influence of steampunk. Running Press Teens has selected some of the most popular, thrilling, and memorable stories and poems by the classic 19th century American writer whose literary talent continues to open the mind to countless interpretations. Every Poe story and poems is fully illustrated with steampunk-...

Booktube-a-thon challenge: Read 7 books.Challenge 17: Read a steampunk book.Several of Poe's short stories and a few of his poems with steampunk pictures interspersed throughout. I think The Spectacles story was my favorite because it was so different from the others and quite funny rather than macabre. I also loved The Raven poem, of course, but also quite liked one called, The Bells and A Dream Within a Dream.

I didn't know Poe wrote short stories before reading this book and would highly recommend you read them. My favourite was The Murders in the Rue Morgue, which is a murder mystery that feels so much like a Sherlock Holmes story. I wouldn't be surprised if this story inspired Sir Arthur Doyle. The pictures are nice too.

Short story collections... I always have a hard time rating these. Poe’s writing is definitely unique and always has that undertone that tells you something isn’t quite right. I love that about him. The illustrations in this particular collection were fantastic and added something new to these old stories. So if you like Poe and you’re into steampunk I say go for it!

I enjoyed the illustrations and I thought this book was entertaining when you're bored.

A wonderful collection of Poe's works, with illustrations that have a macabre steampunk vibe. I recommend it highly.

Just Poe with some illustrated steampunk graphics which are pretty cool. Read The Raven, To Helen and Murders in the Rue Morgue.

so. i bought this maaany years ago when i thought steampunk was the coolest shit ever. then i never read it lol.the stories are fine, the only one i actually enjoyed was the murder one. my main issue is how someone thought poe's stories were actually steampunk in any way??? the illustrations are kinda weird and i don't think they fit the mood of the stories at all. you can put as many cogs and weird glasses as you want, but it doesn't make it steampunk at all.........

I couldn't finish this book, I was on page 76 of The Murders In The Rue Morgue and just lost track of the story. I read the poems at the back of the book didn't mind A Dream Within A Dream.I'm going to have to say Poe is not for me.

This book caught my eye in the teen section of our library several months back and I was immediately intrigued. I kind of love me some Edgar Allan - and my introduction to Steampunk last Christmas (of 2011) wasn't too bad either.If you're unfamiliar with the idea of Steampunk, it's a little different. Wikipedia defines Steampunk as "a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19...

So, even if I didn't like the illustratrions and whole Steampunk things, I would still love it just for Poe's tales and poems (mainlly the poems, since I hadn't read anything from his poetry works). But hey, I actually really enjoyed everything! The pictures were really great in illustrating the madness and excentricity in his stories. It was really cool how there were some characters and elements that appeared in more than one of his works, kind of like they were linking. Also loved how they ma...

I love Edgar Allen Poe’s work, so no complaints about the text. The illustrations really didn’t add anything, were sporadic, and only mildly applicable at times. I like the concept a lot, but the execution was so so. Borrowed it from the library and would not purchase.

I must admit I ended up DNF thins book. I just could not get past the formal old style of writing. I tried reading 3 stories and several poems but just found myself not enjoying the reading. I gave this a 3 star because the steampunk illustrations were wonderful. I found myself lingering over the drawings and really seeing them relate to the stories Poe wrote. If you enjoy the classics and Poe this is a book worth checking out

Steampunk Poe is a sumptuous collection of stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe effectively illustrated by Zdenko Basic and Manuel Numberac with images influenced by steampunk. This edition showcases a variety of Poe stories--from the well-known "Murders in the Rue Morgue" to the more rarely anthologized "The Spectacles" and "The Balloon Hoax" and ornaments each one with steampunk-inspired artwork featuring elaborate clockwork aviation, cyborg-like evil eyes (a la "The Tell-Tale Heart"), truly p...

I was soooo extremely ecstatic when I walked into my library and spotted this book! I first noticed it on Goodreads and thought that it would turn out to be one of those books I'd admire from afar but would never get the chance to get my hands on. Little did I know that someone out there saw fit to supply my local library with a copy, making me happy and hopefully introducing others to Poe's work through the wonderful illustrations, as steampunk is so popular right now. Though I never would have...
