| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains a fantastic collection of short stories by Edgar Allen Poe, including 'The Fall of the House of Usher', 'The Masque of the Red Death', 'The Premature Burial', 'The Pit and the Pendulum', and others. These marvellous examples of Poe's masterful fiction writing prowess are highly recommended for lovers of horror, and would make for worthy additions to any collection. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
