The Murders in the Rue Morgue and Other Tales

Om boken

Horror, madness, violence and the dark forces hidden in humanity abound in this collection of Poe's brilliant tales, including the bloody, brutal and baffling murder of a mother and daughter in Paris in 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', the creeping insanity of 'The Tell-Tale Heart', the Gothic nightmare of 'The Masque of the Red Death', and the terrible doom of 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. 'An agility astounding, a strength superhuman, a ferocity brutal, a butchery without motive, a grotesquerie in horror absolutely alien from humanity.' — Edgar Allan Poe
