Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe

As a story teller Poe was something of a Jekyll and Hyde: on the one hand he was the inventor of the realistic detective story, in which the solution depends on careful reasoning and deduction, on the other the creator of a strange world of supernatural horror, macabre and fearful in its imagining. This collection of 23 stories brilliantly reflects the two sides of his genius, the nightmare terror of The Pit and The Pendulum and the charnel horror in King Pest contrasting sharply with the clear logic of the immortal Dupin in The Murder in the Rue Morgue. Flawless in technique, these stories are the work of a master whose skill in creating atmosphere has never been surpassed. Based on the 1919 edition by George Harrap & Co.
