Edgar Allan Poe

Sprung from the shadowed recesses of Edgar Allan Poe's imagination, these nineteen tales of mystery and the macabre testify to the brilliance of their author's dark genius. Included are such enduring classics as "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall; of the House of Usher," "The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Cask of Amontillado. " Each story is colorfully illustrated by the classic artwork of Harry Clarke, in whom Poe found one of his most sensitive and sympathetic interpreters.
