Published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's birth, a collection of stories by the original master of suspense, with commentary from beloved and bestselling contemporary authors
Few writers have crafted stories as haunting and lasting as those of Edgar Allan Poe. Although written more than 150 years ago, they retain the power to scare, dazzle, and warp our minds. This outstanding collection contains 16 of his best works, from the famous stories, including "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Pit and the Pendulum," to an excerpt from his only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.

While his work has transformed readers' lives, Poe's tales have also had a profound impact on the writers working in our current golden age of suspense. Accompanying the stories are twenty essays by such shining lights as Michael Connelly, Stephen King, Sue Grafton, Nelson DeMille, Lawrence Block, Lisa Scottoline, and Laura Lippman, who tells us about the ways Poe has influenced their life and work.

Horrifying and enticing, powerful and timeless, this anthology of Poe's greatest stories is a must for literature lovers and a wonderful introduction for new generations eager to discover this master's exquisite art.

* January 19, 2009 marks the bicentennial of Edgar Allan Poe's birth.

Founded in 1945, the MYSTERY WRITERS OF AMERICA is the foremost organization for mystery writers and other professionals dedicated to the field of crime writing. Each year the MWA bestows the Edgar Awards, which honor the outstanding works in the genre for the previous year. MICHAEL CONNELLY is one of the most prolific and bestselling writers of suspense at work to day. He lives with his family in Florida.
