Even today, in the age of horror movies and high-tech haunted houses, Poe is the first choice of entertainment for many who want a spine-chilling thrill.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Boston in 1809, and dead at the age of 40, Poe wrote across several fields during his life, noted for his poetry and short stories as well as his criticism. The best of each of these is collected here, including the classic poem \"The Raven,\" and timeless stories like \"The Tell-Tale Heart.\" In his introduction to this volume, G. R. Thompson argues that Poe was a great satirist and comedic craftsman, as well as a formidable Gothic writer. \"All of Poe's fiction,\" Thompson writes, \"and the poems as well, can be seen as one coherent piece--as the work of one of the greatest ironists of world literature.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Great Short Works of Edgar Allen Poe\u003c\/em\u003e includes these classics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003eThe RavenAnnabel LeeThe Murders in the Rue MorgueThe Masque of the Red DeathThe Pit and the PendulumThe Tell-Tale HeartThe Purloined LetterThe Imp of the Perverse\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060727857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Edgar Allan Poe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378200346805,"sku":"9780060727857","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_12523fce-d91c-4f6e-8b56-4c873666a7a5.jpg?v=1701751224","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/great-short-works-of-edgar-allan-poe-poems-tales-criticism-9780060727857","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
