Sleep, those little slices of death — how I loathe them.

Behold: a selection of short stories from the master of the macabre, Edgar Allen Poe.

From the brilliant mind of a man responsible for popularising the genres of detective fiction and science fiction come these unforgettable tales of death, decay and the dark depths of human emotion. They will, almost inevitably, crawl under your skin and into your brain.

O autoru

Edgar Allan Poe is considered to have been a vital component of Romanticism, the detective genre, the science fiction genre, and the existence of the short story itself. So influential was his work, there now exists the Edgar Award: for distinguished work in the mystery genre.
