The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe is one of America's greatest and best-loved writers. Known as the father of the detective story, Poe is perhaps most famous for his short stories, but he was also an extremely accomplished poet and a tough literary critic. Poe produced many works now considered essential to the American literary canon - including stories like The Tell-tale Heart and classic poems such as The Raven.

The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe includes all of Poe's spine-chilling short stories and melodious poems, as well as literary criticism, essays, and his only full-length novel, The Narrative of A. Gordon Pym. In addition, noted historian and biographer Daniel Stashower provides a compelling introduction to this collectible edition.
