Description

A man slides into madness after a black cat enters his life, while Tell-Tale Heart and The Fall of the House of Usher press guilt, paranoia, and decay still further. Poe?s macabre collection of psychological unease and the uncanny. Spoken as when the crime is done and the conscience will not stop tapping.

Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) invented a climate of dread that American literature has never quite left. He shaped the modern detective story, perfected the haunted chamber, and wrote poems — The Raven above all — that lodge in the ear like a refrain. Beauty and terror share his rooms: obsessed lovers, guilty narrators, and reason that slides into nightmare. Poe lived hard and died young; the work outlasted the legend.
