The raven and selected short stories

by Poe, Edgar Allan

The title work in this collection of twelve short stories and poems is widely regarded as the most famous of Edgar Allan Poe's writings. This unsettling tale in verse tells of a man's slow descent into madness as he mourns the loss of his lover. The mysterious visit of a talking raven that utters only one word sparks the man's steady decline. Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story, was an expert at weaving suspense and horror into tales that thrill and chill.
