‘Greatest Works of Edgar Allan Poe.’ We’ve got ravens, we’ve got bare branches, and we’ve got more gold accents than a Trump penthouse. Seriously, did they dip the book in Midas’ touch?

The font is all old-timey and creepy, which I guess is fitting for Poe, it’s like they’re trying to say, ‘Hey, in case you didn’t know, this guy was spooky.’ And speaking of spooky, the black and gold color scheme is less ‘mysterious’ and more ‘I got a discount.

But you know what? I kind of dig it. It’s like they’re leaning into the absurdity of it all. If you’re a fan of the macabre and want to signal to everyone on the subway that you are deep and mysterious, this cover has got you covered. It’s not subtle, but neither was Poe.

Rating: ★★★★☆ Summary: “Greatest Works of Edgar Allan Poe” features a cover that’s as gothic and dramatic as the man himself, complete with ravens, bare branches, and a gold-accented black design.
