I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. At the request of his good friend Roderick Usher, a visitor travels to the House of Usher where Roderick and his sister Madeline live. From the time the traveler first steps foot onto the Usher property, a mysterious and foreboding presence fills the air. Almost as if the house itself is alive. Born in 1809, Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer and poet best known for his tales of mystery and macabre. His short stories have long been entrenched in American pop culture, and he is regarded as one of the greatest inspirations to the modern horror and mystery genres. His fictional C. Auguste Dupin stories, all included in this collection, are widely considered the first modern detective story, and these stories would become a foundational influence to Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Poe's notable works include The Fall of the House of Usher (1839), The Tell-Tale Heart (1843), The Black Cat (1843), and The Raven (1845), among many others. He died in 1849. The following 13 tales and 13 poems are included: TalesThe Fall of the House of UsherThe Tell-Tale Heartthe Black CatThe Cask of AmontilladoThe Pit and the PendulumThe Masque of the Red DeathThe Oval PortraitThe premature burialA Descent into the Maelstr mLigeiaThe C.

The Works Of Edgar Allan Poe is a collection of short life stories of Edgar Allan Poe which are very engaging. The book includes various famous stories such as The unparalleled adventures of one Hans Pfaal which is an extremely long-winded science fiction tale about traveling to the moon in a balloon, which makes this tale into a great adventurous science fiction tale. One tale, Four Beasts in One, transports the reader to ancient Syria where they witness a strange ritual involving an emperor of Syria who is clothed as an odd hybrid beast and is praised for his brutality. The oval portrait, a science fiction or police procedural that is one of the book's most well-known stories, is succinct and to the point without sacrificing any of its power due to its concision or lack of detailed cataloging. A girl who was painted to death is the main subject of this ghost story.

This collection brings together more than fifty of Edgar Allan Poe’s most important stories, poems, and critical writings, which established him as one of the most distinctive voices in American Literature, in a single accessible volume.

An essential resource for students and teachers of Poe, this book includes stories such as ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’, ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’, and ‘The Purloined Letter’ as well as his Gothic narrative poem ‘The Raven’ and some of his most significant critical writings.

John Henry Ingram (1842-1916) was an English biographer and editor who took an especial interest in Edgar Allan Poe, dedicating himself to the resurrection of Poe's reputation by publishing a multi-volume collection of his works and the first reliable biography of Poe in the late 19th century. With this book, Ingram singles out Poe's greatest poem The Raven and provides commentary and insight concerning its genesis and history, then expands on its literary impact by showcasing translations (French, German, Hungarian, and Latin), fabrications, and parodies of the poem. Also included is Poe's 1846 essay The Philosophy of Composition, in which Poe himself details the process he employed to craft The Raven.
