Best Of Edgar Allan Poe : All Of His Macabre Tales Complete And Unabridged
Paperback Edition: 1/2009
Few authors' names conjure up such an air of ghoulish terror as that of Edgar Allan Poe. Although best known for his classic gothic horror tales such as The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher or The Premature Burial, he
also wrote contemporary science fiction such as The Balloon-Hoax, mystery thrillers like The Murders in the Rue Morgue or The Mystery of Marie Roget and even humorous stories like The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether. All of his chilling horror stories and other suspenseful tales - seventy-three short stories in total - are presented here in one fantastic volume, providing an ideal introduction to this master of the macabre for those unfamiliar with Poe's work, or a welcome return to Poe's dark and mysterious world for committed enthusiasts.
