Tales Of Mystery And Imagination [23 Stories] by Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American of Ulster stock and a compelling writer who died, in tragic circumstances, at the early age of forty. His neurotic temperament and addiction to alcohol go a long way to explaining the grotesque and tortured nature of his Tales of Mystery and Imagination many of which are pervaded by despair. This collection of Poe's best stories contains all the terrifying and bewildering tales that best characterize his work. The Gold Bug Tbe Facs in the Case of M. Vaklemar MS.
