Tales and Poems

This mesmerising, macabre collection contains Edgar Allan Poe´s best-known poetry, including ´The Raven´, ´Annabel Lee´ and ´Lenore´, and a selection of his very best stories, along with his finest tales from the last decade of his tragically short life. Many of these stories and poems explore the familiar Poe themes of murder, obsession and love, but this volume also contains many overlooked tales of the fantastic, black comedies, parodies and hoaxes, such as ´The Unparalleled Adventure of Hans Pfaall´, ´Mesmeric Revolution´, ´Hop-Frog´, and ´The Imp of the Perverse´. This Macmillan Collector´s Library edition features an afterword by David Pinching.
