Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, expelled from West Point for gambling and became an alcoholic. In 1836 he secretly wed his thirteen-year-old cousin. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain suspicious circumstances.

The classic poems and spine-tingling stories of a Gothic American master collected in one volumeOf all the American masters, Edgar Allan Poe staked out perhaps the most unique and vivid reputation, as a master of the macabre. Even today, in the age of horror movies and high-tech haunted houses, Poe is the first choice of entertainment for many who want a spine-chilling thrill.Born in Boston in 1809, and dead at the age of 40, Poe wrote across several fields during his life, noted for his poetry and short stories as well as his criticism. The best of each of these is collected here, including the classic poem The Raven, and timeless stories like The Tell-Tale Heart. In his introduction to this volume, G. R. Thompson argues that Poe was a great satirist and comedic craftsman, as well as a formidable Gothic writer. All of Poes fiction, Thompson writes, and the poems as well, can be seen as one coherent pieceas the work of one of the greatest ironists of world literature.The Great Short Works of Edgar Allen Poe includes these classics:The RavenAnnabel LeeThe Murders in the Rue MorgueThe Masque of the Red DeathThe Pit and the PendulumThe Tell-Tale HeartThe Purloined LetterThe Imp of the Perverse The classic poems and spine-tingling stories of a Gothic American master collected in one volume.
