HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. ‘True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous
I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them.’ This
ultimate collection of the infamous author’s works includes
‘The Raven’, ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ and ‘The
Tell-Tale Heart’. They focus on the internal conflict of
individuals, the power of the dead over the living, and
psychological explorations of darker human emotion. An American
writer of fantastical, bizarre and sometimes disturbing short
stories, Poe wrote in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Preoccupied with delving into the darker reaches of the human
psyche, Poe is inventor of the detective story and master of the
macabre.
