About Author The works of American author Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) include many poems, short stories, and one novel. His fiction spans multiple genres, including horror fiction, adventure, science fiction, and detective fiction, a genre he is credited with inventing. These works are generally considered part of the Dark romanticism movement, a literary reaction to Transcendentalism. Poe's writing reflects his literary theories: he disagreed with didacticism[3] and allegory. Meaning in literature, he said in his criticism, should be an undercurrent just beneath the surface; works whose meanings are too obvious cease to be art. Poe pursued originality in his works, and disliked proverbs.He often included elements of popular pseudosciences such as phrenology and physiognomy.His most recurring themes deal with questions of death, including its physical signs, the effects of decomposition, concerns of premature burial, the reanimation of the dead, and mourning. Though known as a masterly practitioner of Gothic fiction, Poe did not invent the genre; he was following a long-standing popular tradition.Poe's literary career began in 1827 with the release of 50 copies of Tamerlane and Other Poems credited only to "a Bostonian", a collection of early poems that received virtually no attention. In December 1829, Poe released Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems in Baltimore before delving into short stories for the first time with "Metzengerstein" in 1832.His most successful and most widely read prose during his lifetime was "The Gold-Bug", which earned him a $100 prize, the most money he received for a single work. One of his most important works, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", was published in 1841 and is today considered the first modern detective story.Poe called it a "tale of ratiocination".Poe became a household name with the publication of "The Raven" in 1845, though it was not a financial success. The publishing industry at the time was a difficult career choice and much of Poe's work was written using themes specifically catered for mass market tastes.

"Spacious format; a wide variety of poems; and colorful, interpretive illustrations."--"School Library Journal. "The format is admirable: a handsome sampler of poems, with a short introductory essay, unfamiliar words briefly defined in footnotes, and a few prefatory sentences for each poem to establish context and aid interpretation. Thirteen of Poe's more accessible poems appear here, including The Raven, ' The Bells, ' Eldorado, ' and Annabel Lee.'"--"Kirkus Reviews. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

The complete works of the master of horror and suspense in one bumper volume. Few authors' names conjure up such an air of ghoulish terror as that of Edgar Allan Poe. His classic tales of horror and suspense such as The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher or The Premature Burial gained an added element of sinister intrigue following the author' s mysterious death in Baltimore in 1849 after being found wandering the streets in a delirious state, wearing clothes that did not belong to him. Although best known for his disturbing gothic horror stories, Poe also wrote mystery thrillers like The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Mystery of Marie Roget as well as curious tales like The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether. The best of his chilling classics and other suspenseful tales - twenty seven stories in total - are presented here in one fantastic volume, along with Poe's disturbing supernatural poem of love and madness, The Raven.
