«There is a type of modern reader — a lover of detective stories. This reader was created by Edgar Allan Poe», — said the famous writer Jorge Luis Borges about the great predecessor. Edgar Poe is owed his existence not...
only by this type of reader but also by a special type of writer. His influence has manifested in many remarkable phenomena in world literature. The founder of the detective genre, he also successfully created masterpieces in other genres: horror stories with elements of fantasy, romantic tales of boundless love, and much more.
The singer of «anxious rustlings» Edgar Poe is unmatched in everything that modern thrillers are known for. Borderline states, the horror of the soul before the abyss, the split consciousness are masterfully depicted in his tales. Precision in details, authorial detachment, and a subtle parody of the nightmares of the Gothic novel — these and other distinctive features of Edgar Poe's prose have made it captivating reading for many generations.
The collection «The Fall of the House of Usher» includes some of Edgar Poe's best works — psychological, detective, and fantastic. Mysterious stories in which it is difficult to draw a line between reality and fiction, and the horror suppresses all other feelings.
A new classic series for fans of «Magistral. The Main Trend» in a hardcover. Impeccability of style, conciseness, tactile materials, colored endpapers, and illustrations on the edge.
