Selected Stories

Edgar Allan Рое was a writer of uncommon talent; in 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' he created the genre of detective fiction while his genius for finding the strangeness lurking within us all has been an influence on everyone from Freud to Hitchcock. This collection of some of his best short stories and novellas contains the well-known tales 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Tell-Tale Heart' alongside hidden gems that both unsettle and enthral the reader.
