description: The ghost stories, the detective mysteries and the horror stories of Edgar Allen Poe stunned and captivated readers when they first appeared and have done so ever since. In "The Pit and the Pendulum" the suspense is near unbearable as the terrible methods of the Spanish Inquisition are revealed, and the description of the ghostliness of "The House of Usher" is only surpassed by the climax of the story.
