This collection of Poe's best stories contains all the terrifying and bewildering tales that characterize his work. As well as the Gothic horror of such famous stories as The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall o/ the House o/ usher, The Premature Burial and TIIC Tell-Tale Heart, all of Poe's Auguste Dupin stories are included. These are the first modern detective stories, and include The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter.
