This selection of Poe’s stories, poetry and other writing demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind.
‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’, a murderer’s insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as ‘The Pit and the Pendulum’ and ‘The Cask of Amontillado’ explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate.
This is the 100th volume in the much-loved Penguin Clothbound Classics series, designed by Coralie-Bickford Smith. These delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
