Great Short Works of Edgar Allan PoeSpringer Science & Business Media, 17 бер. 2009 р. - 576 стор. The classic poems and spine-tingling stories of an American gothic master collected in one volume Of all the American writers, Edgar Allan Poe staked out perhaps the most unique and vivid reputation as a master of the macabre. Even today, in the age of horror movies and high-tech haunted houses, Poe remains the first choice of entertainment for many who want a spine-chilling thrill.
