"The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is a short story by American author Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also, to a certain degree, a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe toyed with this for a while before admitting it was a work of pure fiction in his marginalia.The narrator presents the facts of the extraordinary case of his friend Ernest Valdemar, which have incited public discussion. He is interested in mesmerism, a pseudoscience involving bringing a patient into a hypnagogic state by the influence of magnetism, a process that later developed into hypnotism. He points out that, as far as he knows, no one has ever been mesmerized at the point of death, and he is curious to see what effects mesmerism would have on a dying person. He considers experimenting on Valdemar, an author whom he had previously mesmerized, and who has recently been diagnosed with phthisis (tuberculosis).

Diddling Considered as One of the Exact Sciences was written in the year 1843 by Edgar Allan Poe. This book is one of the most popular novels of Edgar Allan Poe, and has been translated into several other languages around the world. This is one of Poes explanatory tales about how to be crook. He gives lots of examples for those who want to learn the art. Diddling Considered as One of the Exact Sciences is a very fascinating piece by Edgar Allan Poe. The use of the jocular term "diddling" makes it clear from the title that it will be a facetious read, intended to amuse.

Poe para explicar minuciosamente cómo fue creando su poema "El cuervo", insistiendo en que ningun punto de su trabajo tiene que ser referido a la casualidad o a la intuicion. Poe fue el primer escritor que definio de este modo el relato y demostro su teoria artistica en algunos de sus propios cuentos, manipulando escenarios, personajes y dialogos para crear inexorablemente en el lector el estado de animo propicio para el crimen perfecto.

In "The Premature Burial", the first-person unnamed narrator describes his struggle with things such as "attacks of the singular disorder which physicians have agreed to term catalepsy", a condition where he randomly falls into a death-like trance. This leads to his fear of being buried alive ("The true wretchedness", he says, is "to be buried while alive".). He emphasizes his fear by mentioning several people who have been buried alive. In the first case, the tragic accident was only discovered much later, when the victims crypt was reopened.

"Shadow" is a short parable by Edgar Allan Poe. It starts like a monologue from someone who has died recently: "YE who read are still among the living; but I who write shall have long since gone my way into the region of shadows. For indeed strange things shall happen, and secret things be known, and many centuries shall pass away, ere these memorials be seen of men. And, when seen, there will be some to disbelieve, and some to doubt, and yet a few who will find much to ponder upon in the characters here graven with a stylus of iron."
