Designed to appeal to the book lover  the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth
printed on high quality paper  and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges  Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.   This collection of Poe's work contains
some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the
mysterious to the darkly comic  yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's
writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts  obsessed with nameless terrors or
preoccupied with seemingly insoluble mysteries. 'The Tell-Tale Heart' and 'The Fall of the
House of Usher' are key works in the horror canon  while in the 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'
and 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' we find the origins modern detective fiction. Collectively 
these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poe's prose work before his premature death in
1849.  With an afterword by Jonty Claypole.
