Publisher's Synopsis

This large deluxe hardback edition presents the classic short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, featuring striking sprayed edges, gold-embossed cover design and acclaimed illustrations by art nouveau artist Harry Clarke.

Edgar Allan Poe was a master of horror literature. While underappreciated in his time, Poe is now recognized as a literary genius whose gothic tales continue to intrigue and entrance. Tales of Mystery and the Imagination brings together his most haunting and celebrated short stories, including 'The Fall of the House of Usher', 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Cask of Amontillado'. Prefaced by Poe specialist Dr Brook Haley, these tales of murder, madness and suspense are testament to Poe's talent.

This beautiful gift edition features sprayed page edges, gold embossing, ivory paper, beautiful endpapers and 27 full-page illustrations by celebrated Irish art nouveau artist Harry Clarke, whose striking and fantastical images perfectly capture the spirit of Poe's uncanny tales.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Epic Classics brings together stunning hardback gift editions of classic works, presented with striking illustrated page edges and illustrated throughout by such greats as Gustave Doré and Harry Clarke.
