**Featuring Edgar Allan Poes short story which inspired The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix**This collection of Poes work contains some of the most exciting and haunting short stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poes writing. They are filled with social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. The Tell-Tale Heart and The Fall of the House of Usher are frightening stories, while in the The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Mystery of Marie Roget we find the origins of modern detective fiction. Collectively, these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poes prose work before his premature death in 1849.

This beautiful Macmillan Collectors Library edition of Edgar Allan Poes Tales of Mystery and Imagination features an afterword by Jonty Claypole.

Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collectors Library are books to love and treasure.
