description: Macabre parties in isolated castles ...Gruesome bestial murders ...Talking ravens, hellish black pits, innocents buried alive ...Prepare to be chilled and enthralled by the haunting genius of the acknowledged master of gothic horror and suspense, Edgar Allan Poe. The stories and poems in this complete anthology probe to the depths of the human psyche and include the infamous - and arguably the first ever - detective story "Murders in the Rue Morgue"; the disturbing classic, "The Fall of the House of Usher" and the horrifyingly claustrophobic, "The Pit and the Pendulum". The perfect bedtime read - for the daring and the brave.
