Compact 94-page paperback
Description

For lovers of gothic American literature, horror, mystery, or suspense, consider the nine gripping stories contained within the Edgar Allen Poe collection "The GoldBug and Other Tales." Two mysteries and seven murders, all coming from various points in Poes writing career, make this anthology a valuable addition to any literature collection. "The GoldBug" is set in South Carolina and follows the tale of a man and his servant as they embark on a madnessinduced journey for buried treasure. The story hinges on the readers ability to break a code in order to figure out a secret message. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," known as the worlds first detective story, makes the audience look for a nonhuman explanation of a double homicide in France. The puzzle involves a murderer who spoke no language known to man, and a hair left at the crime scene that was not human. Other popular Poe stories are included in the collection, such as "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Cask of Amontillado." Readers will enjoy Poes twisted sense of horror and the Gothic style, both of which have entranced audiences for the better part of two centuries.
