Bøker av Edgar Allan Poe

Featured in these pages are Edgar Allan Poe's best-loved and most-feared literary creations: the clever C. August Dupin, precursor to Sherlock Holmes; the terrifying ghouls of "Tales of the Grotesque" and "Arabesque"; as well as the tragic sensibilities of "The Raven and Other Poems." This is an essential treasury for Poe novices and experts alike.

Children of horror, follow me as we cross the ghoul guarded gateways, the labyrinth of the lost, and the decrepit crypt into that cherished abyss that is moonlight, swamp, and darkest night. Forever are we outsiders to this world and the coil that is man. And, for that relish in the strange, the grotesque, and the unnerving as we push ever farther, without a torch, flashlight, or candle into shadowed waterways, fog-fetid bayous, and amongst moss-covered oaks. These truly are our home.Our name is LEGION horror fans for we are many. My LEGION, walk the cobwebbed, cyclopean stairs with me. Climb the bat filled bell tower on the expanse of endless night wind. And fly through mists into ancient cypress as we learn the mysteries of creatures in the dark.I promise, as we splash and lumber through the darkness, to protect you from the ghastly ghouls within. Well...maybeThis book is dedicated to the forgotten horror masters who terrified through the centuries. We have included our own tales built on the skull and bones of these masters. We hope they bring the same fear, dread, and terror they did to us.--JL
