Recenzii

 • "For their supernatural grotesquerie and graveyard doom, [Poe's stories] foreshadow Stephen King and the "southern gothic" of Truman Capote... his work continues to enthral. His greatest tales radiate a dark humour and mockery that strike an oddly modern note." --Sunday Times

 • "The modern horror novel owes an enormous debt to Poe, and the novel of psychological horror owes him almost everything." --Spectator

 • "If you love thrillers, you have to read these stories." --Observer

His greatest tales radiate a dark humour and mockery that strike an oddly modern note." Sunday Times "The modern horror novel owes an enormous debt to Poe, and the novel of psychological horror owes him almost everything" Spectator "If you love thrillers, you have to read these stories" Observer "Poe's work as a whole is a series of haunting improvisations on themes from the macabre that are hard to categorise, dazzlingly original and posthumously influential on an extraordinary range of writers from Baudelaire and RL Stevenson to Yeats, Wilde and Borges" Observer

Descriere

The midnight hour approaches. You lie in bed and try to sleep, but there is the howling of the wind outside, the creak of a floorboard, the scream of a cat, the ticking clock... Your heart beats, your skin crawls, and despite yourself you reach for this book and enter a world like a nightmare, haunted by dark fears, guilty secrets and the bloody consequences of rage, revenge and obsession. You cannot tear yourself away, these tales will appall and yet enthral you, for no mere mortal can resist the master of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe.
