Classic Works of Horror

Haunting Poems and Tales from the Master of the Macabre

Edgar Allan Poe
Englisch | Taschenbuch

The classic poems and spine-tingling stories of America’s Gothic master, Edgar Allan Poe, now available in one horrifying volume.“It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night.”Of all the American masters, Edgar Allan Poe staked out perhaps the most unique and vivid reputation as a master of the macabre. Born in Boston in 1809 to a pair of actors, dead at the age of forty, the forerunner of modern American horror continues to loom large in the American imagination. Revered not only for the eerie beauty of his prose but his formidable satire, Poe was a prolific writer of poetry, short stories, and criticism in addition to his novels.The best of his works of horror is collected in this volume, including classic, timeless stories like “The Tell-Tale Heart,” "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Oval Portrait," as well as lesser known (yet equally haunting) poems such as Berenice and The Imp of the Perverse, and the quintessential The Raven.All of Poe’s fiction,” G. R. Thompson writes, “and the poems as well, can be seen as one coherent piece—as the work of one of the greatest ironists of world literature.” A celebration of the short works of one of the foremost American Gothic writers, Classic Works of Horror is ideal for Poe fans and horror fiends alike.

The Works of Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe
Do you want to read The Works of Edgar Allan Poe? If so then keep reading...The life of American writer Edgar Allan Poe was characterized by a dramatic series of successes and failures, breakdowns and recoveries, personal gains and hopes dashed through, despite which he created some of the finest literature the world has ever known. Over time, his works have influenced such major creative forces as the French poets Charles Baudelaire and Andre Gide, filmmaker D.W. Griffith, and modern literary legend Allen Ginsberg. Best known for his poems and short fiction, Poe perfected the psychological thriller, invented the detective story, and rarely missed transporting the reader to his own supernatural realm. He has also been hailed posthumously as one of the finest literary critics of the nineteenth century.What are you waiting for The Works of Edgar Allan Poe is one click away, select the "Buy Now" button in the top right corner NOW!

Sämtliche Erzählungen in vier Bänden
Edgar Allan Poe
Erst das 20. Jahrhundert hat so recht die Visionen des großen amerikanischen Erzählers Edgar Allan Poe wahr- und ernstgenommen. Dabei wollte Poe mit seinen unheimlichen Erzählungen, den Nachtstücken, dem Grauen, den Alpträumen, den Nervenkrisen, der Flucht ins Jenseits des Grabes, mit dem Überwirklichen und Kriminellen, nicht nur die zynische Grausamkeit und das menschliche Verbrechen messerscharf analysieren, sondern auch seiner inhumanen Mitwelt einen düsteren Groteskspiegel vorhalten.Die Erzählungen sind hier chronologisch nach der Erstveröffentlichung angeordnet.
