Edgar Allan Poe's predominantly named "The Raven", not just the one story but also a collection of his other work which ive not really read much of...

Is it his entire collection, or just "The Raven" and a few others? If it's the entire collection, I recommend the following:

"The Gold Bug"
"Silence -- A Fable"
"Decent into the Maelstrom"
"The Cask Of Amontillado"
and "The Masque of Red Death"

Poe is a brilliant writer.

I would like to read a book like that. Tell me how it is when you've finished.

Not sure if that's the one or not but I have his entire collection in one volume around here somewhere.

Each story a very intresting read.

I also have all his stuff in one volume. The one Crow got appears to be just a few poems, but has nifty original illustrations, which is cool.
