Murders in the Rue Morgue & other stories

"Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, Edgar Allan Poe invented the detective fiction genre with his mismerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin. Dorothy Sayers would describe 'The murders in the Rue Morgue' as 'almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice'. Indeed, Poe's short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today, the Dupin stories still stand out as unique and utterly engrossing."--Publisher.
