Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 is a pioneering writer of weird fiction. His intense focus on the psychology of terror his mastery of both psychological and supernatural horror and his utilization of a dense frenetic and hypnotic prose style have made him not merely a master of the weird tale but the virtual founder of the short story.<br /> This volume contains all the major weird works of Poe from such early tales as "Metzengerstein" and "Berenice" to such masterworks as "Ligeia" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" to such late stories as "The Cask of Amontillado" and "Hop-Frog." Poe’s one novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym is included as is his landmark detective story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" which features a considerable dose of physical horror. In addition many of Poe’s weird poems — "The City in the Sea" "The Raven" "Ulalume" "Annabel Lee" and others — are included.
