Complete and unabridged, with 3 full-page plates by Francisco Goya and Johan Christian Dahl. The purloined letter, hidden by not being hidden; the descent into the maelstrom; the fall of the house of Usher, the black cat, the tell-tale heart, the pit and the pendulum, the cask of Amontillado, the masque of the red death, and William Wilson, who meets his double. Poe worked as a magazine editor and knew exactly how long a story could be before a reader put the paper down; every one of these is built to be read at a sitting. In the title story Dupin solves the case by thinking about how the other man thinks. Its 57 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
