Why read it?
1 author picked Tales of Mystery and Imagination as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I sometimes forget how Edgar Allan Poe transformed the mystery and horror genres with the stories in this collection.
Here, you’ll find the very first modern detective stories: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, and The Purloined Letter. Plus, we have his most famous works: The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Premature Burial, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Tell-Tale Heart.
Filled with unforgettable images and horrific twists and turns, I love how each story creeps over me like a lengthening, darkening shadow.
From David's list on chills and thrills on a dark and stormy night.
