And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadows on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted -- nevermore!
Ghoulish! Ghastly! Horrid! Morbid! These are the words most often used to describe the wicked writings of Edgar Allan Poe. In this collection of thirteen stories and select poems, the master of the macabre unleashes his gift for unearthly delights. Read favorites such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Raven" . . . if you dare.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) reigns unrivaled in his mastery of mystery. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, expelled from West Point for gambling, and became an alcoholic. In 1836 he secretly wed his thirteen-year-old cousin. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain suspicious circumstances.
