Darkness There: Selected Tales by Edgar Allan Poe

A distinct aspect of lunacy murder and sadness is explored in each tale ranging from the terrifying prospect of being buried alive in The Fall of the House of Usher to the tense situation surrounding two horrifying murders in The Murders in the Rue Morgue. The Tell-Tale Heart's pulse of anxiety The Pit and the Pendulum's razor-sharp claustrophobia and The Raven's agony of a mourner all disclose and relish in life's creepiest and strangest moments. These stories are not suitable for anyone with fragile skin or weak hearts.
