READ BY DAVID SOUL Duration: 2 hours 28 minutes Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was an American poet, writer, editor and literary critic. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe’s full-blooded Gothic style influenced generations of writers, filmmakers and musicians, from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Baudelaire to Roger Corman and Lou Reed. The five tales collected here range from the famous to the obscure, but each displays Poe's unique sense of the macabre and his love for the baroque. A victim of the Inquisition finds himself in a nightmarish torture chamber, a castle is besieged by plague, a man becomes obsessed by the evil eye of his fellow lodger, a mesmerist suspends a man's life at the point of death and a jester takes his revenge on his cruel employers.

This chapbook assembles two of Edgar Allan Poe's notable gothic tales, "William Wilson" and "MS. Found in a Bottle."

And much of Madness and more of Sin And Horror the Soul of the Plot The lines from 'Ligeia' epitomize the familiar Poe, the arch-priest of Gothic horror, author of 'The Masque of the Red Death' and 'The Pit and the Pendulum'. That Poe, unquestioned master of 'the Grotesque and Arabesque', is fully represented here, but the volume also includes generous selections from his poetry and critical writings. Together they amount to a portrait of a complex personality, that of a conscious aesthete, the most exotic of American writers, who was at the same time keenly engaged in an astonishing variety of interests. Nor are the 'Grotesque' tales the simple manipulations of terror that they seem; David Galloway's introduction reveals their author as a profoundly serious writer, whose investigations of extreme states of conscious- ness have a particular relevance for our time.

In this graphic adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's works, the celebrated narrative poem 'The Raven' and several of his short stories are brought to life by Pete Katz's superbly dark illustrations. Poe was a master of Gothic fiction, and the genre's core themes of horror, death and romance feature strongly in this collection, which includes The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Black Cat, The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.

Master of the gothic genre, Poe made fear his quintessential theme and the principal tool for understanding psychological dynamics. Characterized by an unmistakable dreamlike and visionary atmosphere, Poe's tales contain truths that reside beyond appearances: the vision is not real, yet it is true. "Those who dream by day know many things that escape those who dream only at night," he states in "Eleonora." The complex, elusive, and disconcerting world surrounding every man, the mysteries to penetrate in order to understand the essence of things, as well as the radical dismay that this kind of inquiry provokes, are the subjects that obsess the American writer and from which his stories often arise. They still manage to captivatingly engage the attention of readers.

Spiral down dimly lit streets lined with madmen and their black deeds, through cold twists of catacombs, and across a sea that strikes with tight, angry fists. From the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe, three tales--"The Cask of Amontillado, " "The Black Cat, " and "The Fall of the House of Usher"--speak to the hidden places within us all.
