THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER – EDGAR ALLAN POE

The 100th title in the much‑loved Penguin Clothbound Classics series: a selection of stories, poetry and other writings from the master of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe. This volume demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which Poe probed the darkest corners of the human mind. “The Fall of the House of Usher” describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In “The Tell‑Tale Heart”, a murderer’s insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Cask of Amontillado” explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate. This volume also includes the classic “The Raven”, among other poems and essays.

Edited and introduced by the novelist, curator and academic David Galloway. The clothbound edition is designed by Coralie Bickford‑Smith and features high‑quality, colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamping and special endpapers.
