The Gold Bug, etc. (Stories taken from Tales of Mystery and Imagination.)
The human mind is a dark, bottomless pit, and sometimes it works in strange and frightening ways. That sound in the night ... is it a door banging in the wind, or a murdered man knocking inside his coffin? The face in the mirror ... is it yours, or the face of someone standing behind you, who is never there when you turn round? These famous short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, that master of horror, explore the dark world of the imagination, where the dead live and spike, where fear lies in every shadow of the mind.

His work heightens the Gothic terror that is Poe's trademark and creates windows into Poe's world.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart ' one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which gives direction to the character of Man.' Including Poe's most terrifying, grotesque and haunting short stories, Tales of Mystery and Imagination is the ultimate collection of the infamous author's macabre works. Considered to be one of the earliest American writers to encapsulate the genre of detective-fiction, the collection features some of his most popular tales.'The Gold-Bug' is the only tale that was popular in his lifetime, whereas 'The Black Cat', 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' became more widely read after his death. Focussing on the internal conflict of individuals, the power of the dead over the living, and psychological explorations of darker human emotion that appear to anticipate Sigmund Freud's later theories on the psyche, Poe's Gothic terror stories are considered masterpieces the world over.

In these stories we meet people struggling with fear, revenge, mental illness and death. Which of them will win - and which will lose - their battles?"--Page 4 of cover.
