Overview
Murder and mayhem abound in three suspenseful stories by Edgar Allan Poe, whose writing left a lasting impact on the gothic and horror genres.
On board a ship, a man watches on as his old friend appears increasingly disturbed. What luggage could be so precious that Cornelius Wyatt would leave it in a locked cabin? The Oblong Box is a masterclass in mystery writing. In The Cask of Amontillado, Italian carnival festivities are the perfect distraction for a man driven to bleak and bloody revenge. One of the earliest examples of the classic detective story is The Murders in the Rue Morgue, a tale that is as violent as it is puzzling. Can Parisian detective Auguste Dupin figure out who killed Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter one July night?
This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James, Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.
