Tales of Mystery and Imagination

Edgar Allan Poe was a master of horror literature. While underappreciated in his time, Poe is now recognized as a literary genius whose gothic tales continue to intrigue and entrance. Tales of Mystery and the Imagination brings together his most haunting and celebrated short stories, including 'The Fall of the House of Usher', 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Cask of Amontillado'. Prefaced by Poe specialist Dr Brook Haley, these tales of murder, madness and suspense are testament to Poe's talent.

This beautiful gift edition features sprayed page edges, gold embossing, ivory paper, beautiful endpapers and 27 full-page illustrations by celebrated Irish art nouveau artist Harry Clarke, whose striking and fantastical images perfectly capture the spirit of Poe's uncanny tales.
