The blurb from the back cover
The midnight hour approaches. You lie in bed and try to sleep, but there is the howling wind outside, the creak of the floorboard, the scream of a cat, the ticking clock...
Your heart beats, your skin crawls, and, despite yourself, you reach for this book and enter a world like a nightmare, haunted by dark fears, guilty secrets and the bloody consequences of rage, revenge and obsession.
You cannot tear yourself away, these tales will appal and yet enthral y, for no mere mortal can resist the master of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe.

Oh well, I couldn't wait 'til tomorrow so I opened the package today! I would have done that earlier if I had known what a delicious treat I would find - spooky chews are awesome! And the book is exactly what I need for a perfect Halloween/Samhain evening (and I loooove the matching 'black cat' label inside). Thank you!
An interesting collection of 10 short stories for Halloween season. It was fun to read as I never knew these tales before. Mr. Poe's Gothic style has something appalling & appealing to it at the same time!
The book is now ready to start its journey again.

Off it goes to Portugal as part of the HGG 2017 surprise parcel (Halloween themed stuff). Enjoy!
Thank you so much for this books and the other gifts! I loved everything :)
It was a slow reading for me (not really my genre and it's a tough english ). But, anyway, thanks for this opportunity.
This book will go to my buddy of EU Secret Santa. I hope you like it :)

Thank you very much for your Santa surprises and this book :-)
It was interesting to read these stories as they are historical fiction. But I don't like Edgar Allan Poe's fantasy. That is not the kind of literature I prefer.
