Classic tales of mystery, terror, and suspense, including The Fall of the House of Usher--the inspiration for the Netflix series from Mike Flanagan, the director of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass! This volume gathers together fourteen of Edgar Allan Poe's richest and most influential tales, including: "The Pit and the Pendulum," his reimagining of Inquisition tortures; "The Tell-Tale Heart," an exploration of a murderer's madness, which Stephen King called "the best tale of inside evil ever written"; "The Fall of the House of Usher," Poe's tour de force about a family doomed by a grim bloodline curse; and his pioneering detective stories, "The Purloined Letter" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," featuring a rational investigator with a poetic soul. Also included is Poe's only full-length novel, Narrative of A. Gordon Pym. With an Introduction by Stephen Marlowe
and an Afterword by Regina Marler
