Beschreibung

In "The Best Tales of Edgar Allan Poe," readers are ushered into a realm of psychological depth and gothic elegance, showcasing Poe's mastery of horror and the macabre. This collection features his most celebrated stories, including "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," characterized by intricate plots, unreliable narrators, and an exploration of the human psyche. Poe's unique style, marked by rhythmic prose and rich symbolism, reflects the tumultuous social and cultural landscape of 19th-century America, a time when romanticism and the burgeoning interest in the supernatural collided to create a compelling literary movement. Edgar Allan Poe, often regarded as the father of American gothic literature, was deeply influenced by his own tragic experiences, including the loss of loved ones and struggles with mental health. These personal adversities are palpable in his writing, which often delves into themes of death, despair, and existential dread. Poe's background as a poet and critic informs his narrative techniques, drawing readers into his darkly imaginative worlds with an almost hypnotic allure. This anthology is an essential read for those intrigued by the intricacies of fear and the depths of the human condition. Poe's works not only entertain but provoke profound thoughts on mortality and madness, making this collection a cornerstone for both enthusiasts of classic literature and new readers eager to explore the dark corners of creativity.

    Something lurks in the darkness of the trees... 
    A group of friends goes on a hike in search of an ancient spring deep inside the forest. Mythical stories come from the woods - tales of gnomes, fairies, and other not so benevolent creatures. Everything changes for the group when they run into a hiker that mysteriously vanished in the area weeks ago. She is malnourished, dehydrated, and hurt, but she keeps raving about the danger in the woods, repeating one incoherent word over and over in a foreign language. By the time they turn back the way they came, it's too late. 
    There's something ancient in these woods. 
    Something far more dangerous than fairies and gnomes. 
    And it's after them.

    Salem, Massachusetts, B&B owner Charlene Morris will need the luck of the Irish—and the help of a ghost—to unveil a hooded killer . . . 
     
     
     
    Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem's Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It's never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie. 
     
     
      
    Now Detective Sam Holden has another homicide on his hands, with Charlene as the only eyewitness. Even if she can't give the police sketch artist much to go on, Charlene is determined to ID the murderer, with the help of Dr. Jack Strathmore, the charming ghost who haunts her B&B. The answer lies in the motive, and to uncover that sleuth and spook will need to shine a light on Connor's shady past—before the killer pulls another Irish goodbye . . .
