Assembled for the first time is a complete collection of Edgar
Allan Poe's science fiction stories. These sixteen tales include
Poe's only novel 'Arthur Gordon Pym', which is filled with
fantastical thoughts on life at the south polar region. 'The
Unparalleled Adventures of Hans Pfall' involves space travel and
aliens, 'Some Words with a Mummy' explores the realm of alternate
history and suspended animation, while 'Eureka' introduces the big
bang theory eighty years before its time. Known for his tales of
horror, Edgar Allan Poe shaped the building blocks of science
fiction. His scientific speculation was based on mid-nineteenth
century theories and understandings, but he took them to levels
that no one had ever dreamed possible. Poe's stories inspired Jules
Verne and H. G. Wells to dream beyond the limits of science and
technology, and they are essential to an understanding of the roots
of science fiction. This 352 page collectors edition includes 34
illustrations, a biography, historical reviews, articles, and an
introduction by Mark Rich.
