When Edgar Allan Poe's creation, C. Auguste Dupin emerged in 1841 in the pages of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," the author ushered in a new era of mystery fiction, with stories that featured protagonist detectives utilizing rational thinking. Dupin became a recurring character for Poe, appearing in "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and "The Purloined Letter," thus cementing himself as a by-word in mystery fiction. Given the importance of Dupin as a literary figure, we present this collection of stories, focusing on Poe as a mystery writer, with the three Dupin tales anchoring the publication. Joining this trio of tales are a handful of other Edgar Allan Poe stories, each containing elements of mystery: "The Gold-Bug," "The Oblong Box," "Thou Art the Man," "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather" and "The Spectacles."
