Tales of Mystery and Imagination

About this book

Obsession, bereavement and the collapse of a trusted account of reality drive these unsettling tales. Stories such as Berenice, The Fall of the House of Usher and The Pit and the Pendulum sit alongside the analytical mysteries of Dupin. Harry Clarke's illustrations give the selected prose a striking visual counterpart, making this edition both a collection of Poe's imaginative range and an important illustrated interpretation.
