Overall a luxurious and haunting edition of two short stories from the 19th century American master of horror. This fine press book contains two macabre short stories by Edgar Allan Poe: "The Facts in the Case of Monsieur Valdemar" and "The Story of Hop-Frog." In "Monsieur Valdemar" the narrator conducts an experiment on a man dying of tuberculosis mesmerizing an early form of hypnosis him shortly before his impending death. The man is kept in a trance-like state somewhere between life and death for months until the trance is broken and his body rapidly decays. The story was first published simultaneously in Broadway Journal and American Review: A Whig Journal in December of 1845 without any statement that it was fiction which led many readers to believe that it was a retelling of a true event. In "The Story of Hop-Frog" the title character is a dwarf and jester for a cruel and joke-loving king. When the king abuses Hop-Frog's friend a young girl named Trippetta Hop-Frog plots a fiery revenge against the king and his seven loyal ministers. "Hop-Frog" was first published in 1849 in The Flag of Our Union newspaper and it has been suggested that the story was Poe's way of taking revenge against his literary critics. .
