Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is a complex and difficult author to understand as a person. At each point in his life when he was on the verge of success, he would fall back to poverty through his own actions. His writings are filled with horror, are weird and are mostly morbid in tone. This collection includes over 50 poems and over 50 short stories by Poe as well as his only full length novel -- The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.

His famous works are part of this collection, including:
Fall of the House of Usher
The Cask of Amontillado
The Masque of the Red Death
The Raven
