A brand new work of Edgar Allan Poe!!!! Ten stories of mystery and the detectives who solve them'all selected by the first and greatest master in the field!!!! No, Poe has not risen from his grave, but careful investigation has revealed these ten tales that Poe praised, or used to inspire his own works, or, in one case, actually translated from French into English. This last story, ?The Head of Saint John the Baptist,? has never been reprinted since it first appeared in a magazine in 1843?a brand new mystery story in the very words of Edgar Allan Poe, himself! Like many masters after him, Dorothy L. Sayers, Dashiell Hammett, Ellery Queen, and Anthony Boucher, Poe, is at last, allowed to present his favorite detective stories. Even the most knowledgeable Poe fans are bound to discover new aspects of his genius as they read the stories that led him on the way to his own masterworks, many of them not reprinted since their first appearances in obscure, old magazines. As a bonus, discover for the first time the true identity of the lost book of Roderick Usher's library and a strange case of parallel creation at the very beginnings of detective fiction. Poe, who first established his reputation as an editor, returns again to that post in this collection of tales that reward careful reading both with pleasures of their own and with glimpses into the workshop of the world's first true author of detective stories. All these stories are quaint, curious, and forgotten. But now they are rediscovered, along with their part in the story of Edgar Allan Poe.… (meer)
