"Fue el primer escritor de narrativa adulta que leí y el friki que hay en mí no acaba de dejarle marchar" Raúl García Cinco narraciones del maestro de la intriga y el terror, fabulador de oscuras pesadillas, Edgar Allan Poe.

Este volumen recoge los cuentos: `La caída de la Casa Usher', `El manuscrito encontrado en una botella', `Ligeia', `El pozo y el péndulo' y `El barril de amontillado'.

During the last few years every incident in the life of Edgar Poe has been subjected to microscopic investigation. The result has not been altogether satisfactory. On the one hand, envy and prejudice have magnified every blemish of his character into crime, whilst on the other, blind admiration would depict him as far "too good for human natures daily food." Let us endeavor to judge him impartially, granting that he was as a mortal subject to the ordinary weaknesses of mortality, but that he was tempted sorely, treated badly, and suffered deeply.

A man who drains away his wifes life to make his painting seem alive; an animal lover who becomes obsessed by a cat; a young man obsessed by an old mans blue eye; and a man hypnotized just before he dies who then

La única novela de Poe, que tantos y tan intensos cuentos escribió, es un verdadero friso de atrocidades: a un ritmo vertiginoso, en una atmósfera agobiante, se suceden tempestades, naufragios, hambre y canibalismo, matanzas, gritos, silencios opresores En estas paginas obsesivas, recargadas, barrocas, no hay un momento de respiro para el lector, que se ve literalmente asediado y acaso fascinado por la destruccion y muerte que rezuman. Y no menos sorprendente es su misterioso final, en el que aparece esa inesperada figura velada que tenia la perfecta blancura de la nieve. Verne no se resigno a ignorar el destino de Pym y lo imagino en La esfinge de los hielos.
