Beschreibung

Edgar Allan Poe's "The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Illustrated Edition)" is a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the author's mastery of Gothic fiction, dark poetry, and macabre themes. This edition not only presents Poe's seminal works'—including "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Raven," and "The Fall of the House of Usher"'—with rich illustrations that enhance the haunting quality of his prose but also reveals the intricate psychological and emotional landscapes that underpin each narrative. Delivered in Poe's signature style, characterized by rhythmic language and innovative use of unreliable narrators, the collection paints a vivid tableau of human despair, obsession, and the supernatural, positioned within the broader context of 19th-century American literature's explorations of existential dread and beauty. Poe, an influential figure of the Romantic movement, faced personal tragedies and struggles throughout his life, including the early deaths of loved ones and his battles with poverty and alcoholism. These experiences profoundly shaped his writings, inviting readers into a world that masterfully blends eeriness with profound introspection. His fascination with death, memory, and the human psyche reflects both his biographical adversities and his incisive exploration of the darker aspects of existence. This illustrated edition is highly recommended for both new readers and seasoned aficionados, as it offers not only the intricate narratives and lyrical poetry that define Poe's legacy but also a visual feast that engages and enthralls. Delve into this timeless collection that invites contemplation of life's mysteries, affirming Poe's status as a luminary in American literature.

    On a spring day in 1933, a strange man with a not-quite-friendly smile appears in Libby Barnett’s backyard. Like a figure from a dark fairy tale, he works a staggering transformation on Libby’s younger sister, and the little girl is lost. 
    Blaming herself, longing to win her mother’s forgiveness and love, 13-year-old Libby becomes unshakable in her determination to find her sister. When a young drifter offers help, she gambles on his trustworthiness and sets out with him into the dangerous vagrant underground of the Great Depression. She soon finds she has entered an underworld even more secretive and terrifying, where practitioners of a barbaric, costly magic use stolen children to harness power. 
    It is from the most lethal of these men that Libby must recover her sister. 
    She is willing to give everything.

    "The Book" is an unfinished short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in late 1933. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death.In the story fragment, the narrator is given an ancient book by a strange bookseller, and when he takes it home and examines it, weird and sinister events ensue.In October 1933, Lovecraft wrote in a letter:I am at a sort of standstill in writing—disgusted at much of my older work, and uncertain as to avenues of improvement. In recent weeks I have done a tremendous amount of experimenting with different styles and perspectives, but have destroyed most of the results.[2]The H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia suggests that "The Book" was one of the undestroyed experiments—an attempt to translate Lovecraft's poem sequence Fungi from Yuggoth into prose. (The completed fragment corresponds to the first three sonnets, which form more of a coherent narrative than the rest of the sequence).
