Penguin Classics the Pit and the Pendulum: The Essential Poe | Edgar Allan Poe

2 posts | 4 read

This selection of Poe's critical writings, short fiction and poetry demonstrates an intense interest in aesthetic issues and the astonishing power and imagination with which he 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.

Penguin Classics the Pit and the Pendulum: The Essential Poe | Edgar Allan Poe

Forgot to share this. Of course when I was in Philadelphia I had to add to my collection. Just used it to borrow The Pit and the Pendulum. #librarycardcollection

Penguin Classics the Pit and the Pendulum: The Essential Poe | Edgar Allan Poe

"The skies they were ashen and sober."
It's been raining on/off the whole weekend so I decided to take advantage of the atmosphere and indulge in a little Poe.
