NYÖVERSÄTTNINGMen i morgon ska jag dö, och i dag vill jag lätta på de bördor som tynger min själ. Skräcknovellens mästare, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), är troligen den amerikanska författare som haft störst betydelse för litteraturens utveckling. Hans unika, senromantiska, röst resonerar med full styrka ända in i våra dagar. Poes förmåga att gestalta extrema själstillstånd, eller den allestädes närvarande spänningen mellan demoni och rationalitet, har fascinerat läsare i snart 200 år. Poe var en mästerlig skildrare av det omänskliga, det onämnbara - de mörka sidor som, i varierande grad, är en del av oss alla. I denna novellsamling bjuds läsaren på nyöversättningar av tio av Poes mästerverk. Det är en mörk, men vacker, värld som öppnar sig. Lätt att stiga in i, men omöjlig att lämna. Innehåller:”Den svarta katten””Ett perverst hugskott””En nedfärd i malströmmen””Amontilladofatet””Huset Ushers undergång””Det skvallrande hjärtat””Guldbaggen””Brunnen och pendeln””Metzengerstein””Röda dödens mask”

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rog t" and "The Purloined Letter". The story opens with a lengthy explanation of ratiocination. Dupin demonstrates his prowess by deducing his companion's thoughts as if through apparent supernatural power. The story then turns to the baffling double murder of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter at their home in the Rue Morgue, a fictional street in Paris. According to newspaper accounts, the mother was found in a yard behind the house, with multiple broken bones and her throat so deeply cut that her head fell off when the body was moved. The daughter was found strangled to death and stuffed upside down into a chimney. The murders occurred in a fourth-floor room that was locked from the inside; on the floor were found a bloody straight razor, several bloody tufts of gray hair, and two bags of gold coins. Several witnesses reported hearing two voices at the time of the murder, one male and French, but disagreed on the language spoken by the other. The speech was unclear, and every witness admits that he does not know the language he claims to have heard. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

Sprung from the shadowed recesses of Edgar Allan Poe’s imagination, these nineteen tales of mystery and the macabre testify to the brilliance of their author’s dark genius. Included are such enduring classics as "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall; of the House of Usher," "The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Cask of Amontillado." Each story is colorfully illustrated by the classic artwork of Harry Clarke, in whom Poe found one of his most sensitive and sympathetic interpreters.
