This early 20th-century edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s collected works is a treasure for any admirer of the master of the macabre. Published just a few years after the centennial of Poe’s birth, it captures the reverence with which his dark, groundbreaking tales and poems were held. Poe’s gothic imagination and innovative literary techniques, from the unreliable narrator to the modern short story, influenced countless authors to come. This volume’s well-preserved state allows readers to immerse themselves in classics like “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and “The Cask of Amontillado” as they were experienced over a century ago. A cornerstone of American literature, this collection offers a glimpse into the tormented genius who helped define the horror and detective genres.
