"There's a type of modern reader—the detective story lover. This reader was created by Edgar Allan Poe," said the celebrated writer Jorge Luis Borges of his great predecessor. Not only this type of reader, but also a special type of writer, owes its existence to Edgar Allan Poe. His influence has left its mark on many remarkable phenomena in world literature. A pioneer of the detective genre, he was no less successful in creating masterpieces in other genres: horror stories with elements of fantasy; romantic tales of love that know no bounds; and much more.

A singer of "unsettling whispers," Edgar Allan Poe is inimitable in everything that makes a modern thriller famous. Borderline states, the soul's terror of the abyss, and split consciousness are masterfully depicted in his stories. Precision in detail, the author's detachment, a subtle parody of the nightmares of the Gothic novel—these and other distinctive features of Edgar Allan Poe's prose have made it a gripping read for generations.

The collection "The Fall of the House of Usher" includes some of Edgar Allan Poe's finest works—psychological, detective, and fantastical. These are mysterious stories in which the line between reality and fiction is difficult to discern, and terror overwhelms all other senses.
