The Essential Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe

A compact anthology of dark, atmospheric short fiction and poems that explore obsession, guilt, mortality, and the uncanny; it combines psychological Gothic tales of madness and decay with formally tight, mournful lyrics and macabre set pieces that range from pioneering detective stories to chilling supernatural horror, all characterized by intense mood, meticulous language, and a fascination with death and the limits of reason.
