The Edgar Allan Poe Collection (2020) brings together several iconic works of short fiction and poetry by a pivotal figure in American literature. Poe's brief but impactful career has left an indelible mark on genres such as science fiction, horror, and detective writing. In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” a man visits an old friend at his family estate, where he finds Roderick Usher and his sister Madeline suffering from an unknown illness, leading him to suspect that the house itself may be alive. “The Masque of the Red Death” presents a Gothic tale set in a prince's abbey during a deadly plague, where a masquerade ball ultimately invites death among the revelers. “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” features a French detective employing analytical reasoning to solve the brutal murders of two women. The collection also includes some of Poe's most celebrated poems, such as “A Dream Within a Dream,” “The Raven,” and “Ulalume,” which exemplify Romantic verse's mystery, beauty, and underlying fear. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition reimagines Poe's classic works for contemporary readers.
