This deliciously eerie volume collects some of the most well-known of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tales and poems originally published in the early to mid-19th century for a new generation of young readers--featuring a freshly reimagined cover! Acknowledged as one of the most brilliant American writers, Edgar Allan Poe crafted a fantastic world filled with mystery and horror that has thrilled readers for generations. This collection includes Poe's most famous tales and poems.
In "The Tell-Tale Heart," a man crafts the perfect murder only to be haunted by guilt. "The Fall of the House of Usher" sees the last members of a family meet their grisly end. "The Purloined Letter" follows a detective searching for a letter stolen from the queen. A prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition faces unimaginable torture in "The Pit and the Pendulum."
All three poems--"The Raven," "Lenore," and "Annabel Lee"--center around the deaths of young women and the sadness left in their wake.
