Tales

This collection gathers Poe's dark prose - tales of fear, madness, guilt and death, where the horror rises from within rather than lunging from a corner. A heart beats on under the floorboards, a black cat takes its revenge, a man comes face to face with his own double. This is the Poe who gave literature both the modern tale of terror and the very first detective story, along with a cold, uneasy taste for the grotesque.
