Guilt that refuses to stay buried, narrators who cannot be believed, and houses that seem to be listening: Edgar Allan Poe wrote the templates the horror genre is still using.
This collection brings together his best-known tales and poems, among them The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven and The Fall of the House of Usher. Poe worked the narrow ground between psychological breakdown and the supernatural, and rarely told a reader which one they were looking at. His interest in obsession, paranoia, mortality and the sound of a guilty mind gives the writing its pressure, while the symbolism and the deliberate rhythm of his sentences account for the rest. Gothic horror, detective fiction and the modern psychological thriller all trace back through him.
What the collection holds:
• Gathers Poe's most widely read stories and poems in one volume
• Includes The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven and The Fall of the House of Usher
• Ranges from gothic horror to the beginnings of detective fiction
• Suitable for general readers and for literature coursework
A foundational collection for readers of gothic and classic literature, available at Boipoka.
