Tales of Mystery and Imagination

About this book

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.

It was, indeed, a tempestuous yet sternly beautiful night, and one wildly singular in its terror and its beauty.

Featuring Edgar Allan Poe's most terrifying, grotesque and haunting short stories, Tales of Mystery & Imagination is the ultimate anthology of the infamous author's macabre works. From the foreboding atmosphere of 'The Fall of the House of Usher' to the mysterious detective stories 'The Masque of the Red Death' and 'The Gold-Bug', Poe presents a chilling blend of Gothic themes, psychological depth and eerie atmosphere.

Vivid, evocative and timelessly suspenseful, Poe's short stories have inspired generations of readers and writers, and have left an unparalleled mark on the American Gothic genre.
