Selected Tales, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1949)
As reader you will discover, Poe, who wrote the first tales of terror, possessed an unrivalled capacity to create atmosphere and suspense, and to probe the dark depths of the human psyche.
»The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.«
Herausfordernd, dennoch lohnend!
