This volumen includes the best gothic and scary tales by Edgar Allan Poe: The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, Ligeia, The Gold-bug, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Murders of rue Morgue, The masque of the Red Death, etc. Can you think of a name more synonymous with spine-tingling macabre literature? A master craftsman of prose and poetry alike, Poe dwells in that dark corner of our literary consciousness, along some creaky corridor laden with dust and cobwebs. Even more than a century on, reading Poe still feels like walking a razor’s edge between grim amusement and irrevocable madness. Here is a list of ten of Poe’s best-known scary tales. Complete edition. Illustrated by A. Sánchez.
