Edgar Allan Poe's Detective Stories and Murderous Tales - A Collection of Short Stories (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

Description

This vintage book contains a fantastic collection of short stories by Edgar Allen Poe, including 'Thou art the Man', 'The Black Cat', 'The Gold-Bug', 'The Imp of the Perverse', 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Roget', 'The Purloined Letter', and 'The Tell-Tale Heart'. These marvellous examples of Poe’s masterful fiction writing prowess are highly recommended for lovers of the detective genre, and would make for worthy additions to any collection. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing "Bon-Bon” now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
