If you know any good Edgar Allan Poe sites that I've missed or if you have a site and you would like to exchange links with me, please let me know. Please note that I will only link to sites that relate to Poe or education. I will not link to your site if it contains any obscenity or profanity.

Collections of Works by Edgar Allan Poe

E. A. Poe Society of Baltimore: Poe's Tales: An extensive collection of Poe's works. Under each story, the various dates of publication are listed, and at least one link to the text.
EServer: Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe: This is a fairly complete collection although I've noticed some errors, probably due to whatever OCR software was used to scan the text.
www.Online-Literature.com/poe/: This is a modern commercial site with popups and ads. It is not a complete collection but it contains most of Poe's stories. Unfortunately, "Ligeia" and a few others are missing.
The Work of Edgar Allan Poe: Another site with a fairly complete set of Poe's stories and poetry. It suffers from the same occasional OCR errors as the EServer site. Example: In "Ligeia", second paragraph, third word from the end is "eves" instead of "eyes". This error also exists in the EServer version.
Poe Anthology at xroads.virginia.edu: I think this is a mirror of one of the previous links. Even so, its always good to have multiple sources.

Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.
During my rather long nap - the weirdest tap!
An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor..."
