Moire endpapers. Not an ex-library, book club or remainder copy.From tales of vengeance and obsession to mysteries that unravel the fabric of reality itself, this anthology offers an unabridged journey into the macabre and the sublime. Included in this volume are some of Poe's most iconic works, such as "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Black Cat," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Gold-Bug," "The Premature Burial," "The Oval Portrait," "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt," and "The Purloined Letter," among others.The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer's oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America's first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe's reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. Seller Inventory # 657512
