Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic horror stories have set a standard for the ages. As original as they are bizarre, they captivate the reader with a mixture of beauty, terror, and wonder. Buried secrets come to the surface, while other things – and people – are pulled down by the whirlpools of the soul.
This collection includes Poe’s most famous stories, ’The Fall of the House of Usher’, ’The Black Cat’, ’The Pit and the Pendulum’, ’The Gold Bug’, and many more, and concludes with his fateful poem ’The Raven’.
EDGAR ALLAN POE was born in Boston in 1809. After brief attempts in academia and the military, he began working as a literary critic and a writer. He published his first novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, in 1838, but it was in his short stories that Poe s peculiar style truly began to shine. He died in Baltimore in 1849.
