The Raven & Other Writings

This deliciously eerie volume collects some of the most well-known of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tales and poems originally published in the early to mid-19th century for a new generation of young readers—featuring a freshly reimagined cover! Acknowledged as one of the most brilliant American writers, Edgar Allan Poe crafted a fantastic world filled with mystery and horror that has thrilled readers for generations. This collection includes Poe’s most famous tales and poems. In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” a man crafts the perfect murder only to be haunted by guilt. “The Fall of the House of Usher” sees the last members of a family meet their grisly end. “The Purloined Letter” follows a detective searching for a letter stolen from the queen. A prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition faces unimaginable torture in “The Pit and the Pendulum.” All three poems—“The Raven,” “Lenore,” and “Annabel Lee”—center around the deaths of young women and the sadness left in their wake.
