## Description

The Portable Poe compiles Poe's greatest writings: tales of fantasy, terror, death, revenge, murder, and mystery, including " The Pit and the Pendulum," " The Fall of the House of Usher," " The Cask of Amontillado," and " The Murders in the Rue Morgue," the world's first detective story. In addition, this volume offers letters, articles, criticism, visionary poetry, and a selection of random " opinions" on fancy and the imagination, music and poetry, intuition and sundry other topics.
