Complete and unabridged, with 92 full-page plates by Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler and George Inness. Poe's tales from the first two volumes of his collected works: the detective stories that invented the form — The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter — beside the ones that gave the century its nightmares, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Gold-Bug, the cipher story that outsold everything else he wrote in his lifetime. Two of the standard volumes of his prose, complete. Its 76 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
