The 100th edition in the popular Penguin Clothbound Classics series: a selection of stories, poems, and other texts by the master of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe. This volume demonstrates the astounding power and imagination with which Poe explored the dark corners of the human mind. "The Fall of the House of Usher" depicts the final hours of a family haunted by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the irrational decadent fantasies of a murderer threaten to betray him, while stories like "The Abyss and the Time Skull" and "The Cask of Amontillado" explore extreme states of decay, fear, and hatred. This volume also includes the classic "The Raven," among other poems and essays. This is the 100th edition in the Penguin Clothbound Classics series, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. These exquisite and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, colorful cloth with silver stamping on the design, and this edition also includes special endpapers. Edited and introduced by the novelist, editor, and academic David Galloway. "The most original genius America has produced" - Alfred, Lord Tennyson "Poe has entered our popular consciousness like no other American writer" - The New York Times Book Review.
