..Edgar Allan Poe

Who was Edgar Allan Poe?

Ok. I got the wrong edgar alan. click image to view the real image of edgar allan poe.

Edgar Allan Poe is, I think even the Frog bros there would agree, THE BEST HORROR FICTION WRITER EVER. Well, not really idk but I loved Tales of Mystery and Imagination-A compilation of his horror stories, of which I generously uploaded in pdf form here. Oh and Sorry, It's incomplete. List of stories still intact are The Fall of the House of Usher, The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, William Wilson and lastly, A Tell-tale Heart.

Short Descriptions for the stories

1. The Fall of the House of Usher - Imagine you are in an old house by the lake. It's night time and there's a wild storm outside, with the wind screaming around the grey stone walls. Far Below the house, in a gloomy vault, lie the dead body of Lady Madeleine in her coffin. In the room with you is her brother looking at you with wild, mad eyes. Imagine this and you are now in the House of Usher.
2. The Black Cat - Best be read without Spoilers.
3. The Masque of the Red Death - A thousand people sing and dance at a wonderful masked ball. With Death creeping around in tip-toes. You are now in the castle of Prince Prospero.
4. William Wilson - Best be read without Spoilers. Personal Favorite.
5. A Tell-tale Heart - Just awesome.
