SF Site and this one interestingly contrasts the different opinions on several of the stories.


Hellnotes ending with the kind of silly (IMHO) observation:
"It is interesting to note, though, that none of these recent writings can compare with a work of another master, and his take on Edgar Allan Poe: Granted, it’s a ridiculously hard act to follow, but Robert Bloch’s “The Man Who Collected Poe” surpasses anything in this compilation."

In the interest of fairness, I'm posting this new review of Poe that just went up on Strange Horizons .

Btw, my lj format has just gone wonky on me...anyone else? I think the html went away--or something--anyone have the same problem?
And the photo of Bella, my icon, is gone.

Fixed!

Added 2/26, Colleen Mondor of Chasing Ray mentions Poe (and reacts to the SH review) on her site--you'll have to scroll down to the bottom of the post:

So Many Destinations

She also quotes Catherynne Valente on her new fantasy Palimpsest.
