The portrait painted by an artist robs his sitter of her lite. A jester dwarf takes terrible revenge on the king and his court. The Red Death stalks the charnbers of Prince Prospero. The razor-edged prisoner of the Inquisition. And Montresor takes Fortunato to a dank Rornan cellarage, to taste an Arnontillado... Ten of Edgar Allan Poe's great tales of horror, jeopardy and death, and the four classic tales with which he created a new genre, the detective story: 'The Gold-Bug', 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Nlystery of Marie Roget' and 'The Purloined Letter'. --front flap
