"Tales of Terror and Fantasy" Description:
The Open Library:
The best of Edgar Allan Poe's stories hold a unique place in literature. Not oniy was he one of the few great masters of the difficult art of the short story ; he was also a truly astonishing originator of styles of fiction which have since developed and become important branches of literature. The present collection contains his best tales of terror, and also of fantasy—and illustrates his amazing originality. Such classics as The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar and The Pit and the Pendulum hardly need introduction. They are still among the most horrifying crawlers' (as Stevenson called them) in the language—and not even R.L.S. nor Conan Doyle nor M. R. ames have surpassed them. The Gold Bug is specially interesting as a finger-post leading to the Treasure Island type of story—of hidden treasure and the deciphering of ingenious clues and codes. Young readers will find excitement and true entertainment in these brilliantly imagined stories. They are matchless of their kind. --front flap
