The collector's illustrated edition includes the best works of Edgar Poe - psychological, detective, mystical. Mysterious stories in which it is difficult to draw the line between reality and fiction, and horror suppresses all other feelings. These stories are fascinating and make you believe in the supernatural. One of the greatest American romantics of the 19th century, Edgar Allan Poe is an enigmatic figure. The writer's life is shrouded in mystery and an ominous atmosphere on par with his works. Edgar Poe looked into the abyss all his life, and the abyss looked back at him, and from this were born stories: dark, strange, bizarre. In them, he touched on the themes of death, suffering, duality of the soul, disintegration of personality, the innate depravity of man, his inexplicable cruelty and supernatural abilities. Edgar Poe was the first to come up with the idea of making a detective the main character, his main weapon - analytical skills, and the basis of the plot - the investigation of a murder. It is to him that the famous Sherlock Holmes owes his birth.
The book reproduces illustrations by Harry Clarke, which are somewhere on the border between bizarre and creepy, very much in tune with the spirit of the published stories. If the author himself had undertaken to illustrate his own stories, he would certainly have done so in a similar style.
