The Edgar Allan Poe Collection (2020) compiles several iconic works of short fiction and poetry by an icon of American literature. Recognized as a foundational figure of nineteenth century fiction, Poe has inspired generations of readers and writers with his craftsmanship and taste for tragedy and terror. His brief but meteoric career shaped the trajectory of American literature forever, forming a legacy without which science fiction, horror, and detective writing would surely be shells of themselves. In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” a man receives a distressing letter from an old friend requesting his presence at his family estate. There, Roderick Usher and his twin sister Madeline are found suffering from an unknown illness, and the narrator struggles to comfort them as signs of paranormal activity lead him to believe that the house itself is a living entity. “The Masque of the Red Death” is a timely work of Gothic fiction set in the abbey of a powerful prince. As the world outside suffers from a deadly plague, the prince decides to hold a masquerade for his wealthy friends and fellow nobles, unwittingly bringing death to his own fortunate doorstep. In “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” a French detective summons the powers of analytical reasoning to investigate the deaths of two young women. Included in this collection are some of Poe’s most iconic poems, including “A Dream Within a Dream,” “The Raven,” and “Ulalume,” all of which remain indelible classics of Romantic verse, masterpieces of mystery, beauty, and slow-burning fear. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Edgar Allan Poe Collection is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer's oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America's first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe's reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.

"Ning n hombre, lo repito, ha narrado con mayor magia las excepciones de la vida humana y de la naturaleza como Poe]." Charles Baudelaire "Los personajes de Poe, esas personas de facultades hipersensibles, de voluntad ardorosa que lanzan el reto hasta contra el mismo imposible, aquellas cuya mirada se lanza r gida como una espada sobre objetos que se agrandan a fuerza de contemplaci n, nacen todos o, mejor dicho, son todos el mismo Poe. Y sus mujeres, todas luminosas y enfermas, muriendo de males misteriosos, hablando con voces de m sica, son tambi n el mismo Poe; o, al menos, lo son por sus extra as aspiraciones, por su valor, por su melancol a incurable." Charles Baudelaire

"Toda entrada en materia cuando se trata de Poe atrae sin violencia como un torbellino; su solemnidad sorprende, manteniendo el esp ritu despierto. Se presiente, desde luego, que se trata de algo grave. Y lentamente, poco a poco, se desarrolla ante nuestra atenci n una historia cuyo inter s se funda en una imperceptible desviaci n del esp ritu, en una hip tesis audaz, en una extralimitaci n imprudente de la naturaleza, en la amalgama de las facultades. El lector, presa del v rtigo, se ve obligado a seguir al artista en sus arrebatadoras deducciones." Charles Baudelaire

Two terrifying books bound together in one striking t te-b che volume: a brand new anthology of morbid, macabre and mysterious masterworks, Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror, is paired with Henry James's definitive Gothic classic The Turn of the Screw. A stranger in a rowboat approaches a schooner in the blackness of night to beg for food. The residents of a secluded town whisper stories about a headless horseman. A poor Hawaiian is convinced to purchase a bottle that contains a being powerful enough to grant any wish. These unsettling stories and more are compiled together for the first time in Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror, edited and with an introduction by C. S. R. Calloway. A governess, her two child charges, and a house haunted by memories and-perhaps-something much more malevolent. The story has been retold countless times, but never as effectively as in its original form. The Turn of the Screw remains frightening over a century after its initial publication, expertly crafted to create fear in what is explicitly on the page and what is left untold. DOUBLE BOOKED(TM) Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror / The Turn of the Screw combines renowned authors Algernon Blackwood, William Hope Hodgson, Washington Irving, W. W. Jacobs, Henry James, Edgar Allan Poe, and Robert Louis Stevenson together in one stylish "reversible" paperback.

The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe is a brilliant collection of some of his best-known stories: The Tell Tale Heart (a murder's haunting guilt), The Cask of Amontillado (a story of brilliant revenge), and The Fall of the House of Usher (an ancient house full of very dark secretes). Also included in this collection are The Mask of the Red Death (horrors of 'the Plague'), and the most famous of all his poems: The Raven (a lover's decline into madness). Best read in a dimly-lit room with the curtains drawn, Poe's brilliant works come to life in darkly thrilling ways in this Manga Classic adaptation.
