The complete works of the master of horror and suspense in one bumper volume.
Few authors' names conjure up such an air of ghoulish terror as that of Edgar Allan Poe.
His classic tales of horror and suspense such as The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher or The Premature Burial gained an added element of sinister intrigue following the author' s mysterious death in Baltimore in 1849 after being found wandering the streets in a delirious state, wearing clothes that did not belong to him.
Although best known for his disturbing gothic horror stories, Poe also wrote mystery thrillers like The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Mystery of Marie Roget as well as curious tales like The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.
The best of his chilling classics and other suspenseful tales - twenty seven stories in total - are presented here in one fantastic volume, along with Poe's disturbing supernatural poem of love and madness, The Raven.
