Srsly? Okay. Don't read his poetry, first off. His poetry is mediocre at best. The Fall of the House of Usher is my favorite, personally. Read these in this order:

>Murders in the Rue Morgue (DUDE, SRSLY)
>The Cask of Amontillado
>The Black Cat
>The Fall of the House of Usher
>The Tell-Tale Heart (it's way, way overrated, but it's still good)
>Descent into the Maelstrom
>William Wilson
>EVERYTHING ELSE

>oh, did she get sauce all over 'em?
