Or perhaps "The Fall of the House of Usher"? In this collection, you can read "The Raven" and fifteen of Poe's greatest stories, and decide for yourself which is the best.

Valdemar", "The Premature Burial", "The Masque of Red Death", "The Balloon Hoax", "William Wilson", "The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether", and last but not least, "Hop Frog."
