这本全集是诗与小说按照字母排序混编，顺序阅读的时候特别跳，刚读完一篇小说，忽然接了几首诗，然后又是小说。。。。检索起来也麻烦。但就内容而言，坡的作品适合放在案头或床边，反复阅读，咂摸细品。从他的作品里可以很好地揣摩总结出制造悬疑、渲染氛围、调动情绪以及结构故事的技巧。

"It's just a matter of trial and error. You try something, it doesn't work. You try it another way, maybe it works even less well, or maybe it works a little bit better. It really is the dark room that Henry James describes. It's a sort of groping, and continuously trying things out, and understanding why something fails. The key is to try to understand what are the elements that are failing, and why, and then you move on to the next draft with a little bit more of clarity."
