Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Recognized today as the undisputed master of the American Gothic horror story, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) revealed his genius in tales of death, terror, evil, and perversity. Highly skilled in achieving a calculated psychological effect, Poe created chilling fictional nightmares permeated by mysterious forces, grotesque creatures, and improbable hallucinations. Poe's immense powers as a storyteller are at their peak in this anthology containing nine of his best-known short stories. Among them are 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue,' a gripping 19th-century detective story that provided a model for future mystery writers; 'The Fall of the House of Usher' and 'The Masque of the Red Death,' pervaded with eerie thoughts, impulses, and fears; 'The Tell-Tale Heart' and 'The Cask of Amontillado,' masterpieces of wickedness and crime; 'The Pit and the Pendulum,' with its agonizing specter of imminent and horrifying death; and 'The Gold-Bug,' a fascinating detective story that combines romance and adventure in an absorbing tale of buried treasure. 128 pp. Englisch.
