Edgar Allan Poe's gothic horror stories have set a standard for the ages. As original as they are bizarre, they captivate the reader with a mixture of beauty, terror, and wonder. Buried secrets come to the surface, while other things - and people - are pulled down by the whirlpools of the soul. This collection includes Poe's most famous stories, 'The Fall of the House of Usher', 'The Black Cat', 'The Pit and the Pendulum', 'The Gold Bug', and many more, and concludes with his fateful poem 'The Raven'.
EDGAR ALLAN POE was born in Boston in 1809. After brief attempts in academia and the military, he began working as a literary critic and a writer. He published his first novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, in 1838, but it was in his short stories that Poe s peculiar style truly began to shine. He died in Baltimore in 1849.

Ett brutalt och oförklarligt mord på två kvinnor i Paris leder till gripandet av en oskyldig banktjänsteman. När den smått excentriske och exceptionellt begåvade C. Auguste Dupin läser om händelsen erbjuder han sin hjälp till polisen - och upptäcker snart att ingenting är som man trott. Edgar Allan Poes »Morden på Rue Morgue« brukar betraktas som den första moderna detektivhistorien. Den publicerades första gången 1841 i tidskriften Graham's Magazine, och Dupin själv kom snart att utgöra en förlaga för berömda litterära detektiver som Sherlock Holmes och Hercule Poirot. Denna utgåva innehåller även de ytterligare två noveller Poe skrev om Dupin: »Mysteriet Marie Rogêt« [1842] och »Det försnillade brevet« [1844]. I svensk översättning av Anna Pyk.
EDGAR ALLAN POE föddes i Boston 1809. Efter korta försök inom universitetsvärlden och militären började han verka som litteraturkritiker och författare. Han debuterade med romanen Gordon Pyms äventyr [1838], men det var i novellerna som Poes sällsamma stil verkligen kom till sin rätt. Han dog i Baltimore 1849.

»En riktigt, riktigt bra och spännande bok!« Bokbimbon
Edgar Allan Poe är inte bara den moderna detektivromanens fader, med berättelser som »Morden på rue Morgue« och »Det försnillade brevet«, där Auguste Dupin med sin logiska slutledningsförmåga löser mysterier även hans gotiska skräckberättelser har blivit stilbildande. I denna volym samlas hans mest berömda historier: »Den svarta katten«, »Brunnen och pendeln«, »Guldbaggen«, »Huset Ushers undergång« och många fler, samt avslutningsvis den ödesmättade dikten »Korpen«.Poes noveller är lika originella som bisarra och trollbinder läsare än i dag med sin förening av skönhet, fasa och förundran. Begravda hemligheter kommer till ytan medan själens malströmmar drar ner annat - och andra.
EDGAR ALLAN POE föddes i Boston 1809. Efter korta försök inom universitetsvärlden och militären blev han biträdande redaktör för Southern Literary Messenger i Richmond och började verka som litteraturkritiker och författare. Romanen Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr från 1938 mötte ingen större uppskattning; det var i novellerna som hans sällsamma senromantiska stil verkligen kom till sin rätt. Han avled i Baltimore år 1849.

Och ser du, en natt drev det mig åter att planlöst ströva genom Kleinstadts tysta gator? Ingenstans i världen är det så hemskt som i denna stadsdel. Man viker in på en gata och ser endast ett dött mörker, då sticker ur en fönsterspringa en spöklik ljusstråle en plötsligt som en lång elak nål i pupillerna. Ur mörkret dyker ett hus upp -- med avbrutna skuldror och bakåtlutande panna och stirrande medvetslöst som ett slaktat djur ur tomma vindskupor upp mot natthimlen. Och går man över de ojämna gatstenarna och ser sig plötsligt om, skulle man kunna hålla vad om, att ett svampigt, likblekt ansikte stirrat efter en om hörnet -- inte i vanlig axelhöjd -- nej, långt nedanför, där endast stora hundar har huvudet. Här samlas nio sällsamma berättelser av både äldre och nutida författare. Klassiska namn som Edgar Allan Poe, William Hope Hodgson och Gustav Meyrink har en plats i varje finsmakares bokhylla. Men dessutom ges stort utrymme åt svenska förmågor, bland dem våra kanske främsta författare av "weird tales" -- Johan Theorin och Sven Christer Swahn. En bok att läsa med öppet sinne och utan föreställningen att skräckfyllda berättelser måste vara blodiga och osubtila. Ty "varelserna som stapplar omkring i natten" är ju mest skrämmande så länge vi inte ser dem?

Since their first publication in the 1830s and 1840s, Edgar Allan Poe's extraordinary Gothic tales have established themselves as classics of horror fiction and have also created many of the conventions which still dominate the genre of detective fiction. Yet, as well as being highly enjoyable, Poe's tales are works of very real intellectual exploration. Abandoning the criteria of characterization and plotting in favour of blurred boundaries between self and other, will and morality, identity and memory, Poe uses the Gothic to question the integrity of human existence. Indeed, Poe is less interested in solving puzzles or in moral retribution than in exposing the misconceptions that make things seem `mysterious' in the first place. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this critical edition selects twenty-four tales and places the most popular -- 'The Pit and the Pendulum', `The Fall of the House of Usher', `The Masque of the Red Death', `The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and `The Purloined Letter' -- alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays, and political satires.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MATTHEW PEARLEdgar Allan Poe invented detective fiction with these three mesmerising stories of a young eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin: 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Rogêt' and 'The Purloined Letter'. Dorothy L. Sayers would later describe these tales as 'almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice'. Indeed, Poe's short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today the unique Dupin stories still stand out as utterly engrossing page-turners.This edition includes the definitive text of these stories and an introduction and appendix on 'The Earliest Detectives' by Matthew Pearl.

One of the greatest of all horror writers, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) also composed pioneering tales that seized upon the scientific developments of an era marked by staggering change. In this collection of sixteen stories, he explores such wide-ranging contemporary themes as galvanism, time travel and resurrection of the dead. 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfall' relates a man's balloon journey to the moon with a combination of scientific precision and astonishing fantasy. Elsewhere, the boundaries between horror and science are elegantly blurred in stories such as 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar', while the great essay 'Eureka' outlines Poe's own interpretation of the universe. Powerfully influential on later authors including Jules Verne, these works are essential reading for anyone wishing to trace the genealogy of science fiction, or to understand the complexity of Poe's own creative vision

Poe found the germ of the story he would develop into ARTHUR GORDON PYM in 1836 in a newspaper account of the shipwreck and subsequent rescue of the two men on board. Published in 1838, this rousing sea adventure follows New England boy, Pym, who stows away on a whaling ship with its captain's son, Augustus. The two boys repeatedly find themselves on the brink of death or discovery and witness many terrifying events, including mutiny, cannibalism, and frantic pursuits. Poe imbued this deliberately popular tale with such allegorical richness, biblical imagery, and psychological insights that the tale has come to influence writers as various as Melville, James, Verne and Nabokov.
