Description: A delicious thrill of horror runs through the gro- tesque tales of Edgar Allan Poe, as in THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, when Doom personified intrudes on a gay and brilliant gathering, and even Time must pause.

Edgar Allan Poe, bom in Boston in 1809, lived only 40 years—many of them desperately un- happy years at that—but in his short time he created a body of stories and poems that are still exciting and wonderful to read.

Besides the tales of terror such as THE MASK OF THE RED DEATH, he is given credit with setting the pattern for detective stories in THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE.
