This edition contains four short stories: The Man of the Crowd, The Oblong Box, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and the Purloined Letter. Edgar Allan Poe is a giant of American literature and a master of mystery and the macabre, as proven in these four classic short stories. These innovative and evocative works are just a few of Poe's writings that helped define the gothic and detective genres in the 19th century.
