Welcome to a world of terror... Each descending sweep of the sharp pendulum brings the prisoner closer to death. One stroke neatly slices his robe. Another brings agonizing pain. Surely the next will end it all...

If you like stories of mystery and suspense, get ready for Great Tales of Terror, by Edgar Allen Poe. This nightmarish collection includes these famous tales: "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Black Cat," and "Ligeia."
