- Synopsis: A classic gothic tale of the dissolution of a family and their estate told by a master of the macabre, now a Penguin Clothbound Classic designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith This selection of Poe's stories, poetry and other writing demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. 'The Fall of the House of Usher' describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In 'The Tell-Tale Heart', a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate. This edition also includes an introduction by the novelist, curator and academic David Galloway.
