Review: <p>James Floyd Kelly, "Wired"<br> "If you've read little to nothing of Edgar Allan Poe, this hardback collection is a nice introduction to a good mix of his styles (comedy, horror, detective). And the text has not been edited -- you'll find Poe's typical style of writing that often involves sentences that can run into almost complete paragraph-length descriptions...My steampunk library grows constantly, and while there are many books on my shelf that I've enjoyed over the years, only a small number exist that I'll reach for in years to come for a re-read. "Steampunk Poe" is one of those."
