Discover the dark world of Edgar Allan Poe and the sinister beauty of his stories "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Truth of Mr. Valdemar." They share themes of man's encounters with the unknown, disturbing mysteries, and death. The decadence of an aristocratic house and a daring experiment with hypnosis on the brink of life and death provoke reflection on ethical questions. Poe's Gothic style influenced subsequent horror literature, including Shirley Jackson and Stephen King.

Watercolors by Ismael Pinteño, a Spanish master of mystical, fantastical, and horror illustration, appear in Russia for the first time. His paintings create a unique atmosphere around Poe's texts: dark pages alternate with light, and images appearing on almost every page transform reading into a sequence of visual scenes.

This edition includes classic translations by N. Gal and Z. Alexandrova. The iridescent, blind-embossed cover and watercolor texture on the endpapers make this book an art object you'll want to hold in your hands.
