This is a fun collection of stories that are all different enough to remain fresh and interesting throughout and although a couple of the tales were not to my taste they would probably work well in another collection. Some of the writers have created further exploits of Dupin that could fit brilliantly with what little has already been written, and other writers completely new takes on, or influenced by, the character which are innovative, exciting and memorable. An entertaining read with a little something for everyone, ''Beyond Rue Morgue'' is good but there is a little too much chaff in with the wheat to rate it much higher.
For an interesting graphic novel take on some of Poe’s masterpieces try [[Eye Classics: Nevermore – - A Graphic Novel Anthology of Edgar Allan Poe’s Poe's Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe, Various, Dan Whitehead (Editor)|Eye Classics: Nevermore – A Graphic Anthology of Edgar Allan Poe’s Short Stories]].
