  "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
  
  Enter a world of haunting melancholia, ethereal love and gripping psychological dread in this comprehensive collection of poetry by the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe.
  
  From the rhythmic and mournful despair of The Raven to the timeless elegy of Annabel Lee, Poe's verse reveals the soul of a man grappling with sorrow, loss, and the nature of beauty itself, often finding a strange and delicate hope even in the darkest moments.
  
  There are more than seventy poems included in this collection
  Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic known for his dark, atmospheric tales and haunting poetry. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in American literature, Poe helped shape the horror and science-fiction genres and is widely credited with inventing detective fiction in his 1841 short story, Murders in the Rue Morgue. Despite a life marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship, Poe produced a number of enduring classics such as The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Fall of the House of Usher, and since his somewhat mysterious death, he and his writings have had a wide-ranging influence in popular culture. In 1946, the Mystery Writers of America established the annual Edgar award, which honour the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction and film.
