The Masque of the Red Death: Edgar Poe

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world`s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.

Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.

Arguably America`s most influential short story writer, Edgar Allan Poe`s tales of suspense never fail to spook and amaze. Gathered in this selection are his very best horror stories, including the gothic tour de force `The Fall of the House of Usher`, the other-worldly `The Masque of the Red Death`, and the murderous `The Tell-Tale Heart`.
