The Masque of the Red Death
"The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death", is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, has a masquerade ball within seven rooms of his abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. When Prospero confronts this stranger, he falls dead. The story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the disease of the "Red Death."

Čierny kocúr
"V krátkej poviedke má autor možnosť predviesť celý svoj zámer bez prerušenia. Počas hodiny čítania je čitateľova duša pod kontrolou autora." E. A. Poe: Tale Writing - Nathaniel Hawthorne - Twice-Told Tales
Dobre si to rozmyslite. Keď autor ako Edgar Allan Poe prevezme kontrolu nad vašou dušou, zavedie ju na pomedzie normálneho a abnormálneho, prinúti ju preskúmať hranice šialenstva a zvrátenosti, ukáže jej, čo sa ukrýva v najtajnejších zákutiach vyšinutej ľudskej mysle.
Pravdepodobne vás to nevydesí na smrť, veď koho by už v dnešných časoch desili staromódne príbehy? No raz za čas, uprostred bezsennej noci, keď vonku bude zúriť búrka a stromy za oknom budú vo svetle bleskov vrhať na vašu posteľ pokrivené mihajúce sa tiene, raz za čas si spomeniete, že najstrašnejšie príšery nečíhajú v temných hrobkách ani v ponurých zámkoch, ale v nás samých.
Výber Čierny kocúr prináša tucet hororových poviedok, tucet majstrovských dielok, pretože, ako tvrdil samotný Poe: "poviedka je skúškou najväčších géniov" a práve tento génius výrazne ovplyvnil vývoj uvedeného literárneho žánru.
Raven
Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro The Raven: Tales and Poems is a landmark new anthology of Poe's work, which defied convention, shocked readers, and confounded critics. This selection of Poe's writings demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. 'The Fall of the House of Usher' describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In 'The Tell Tale Heart,' a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate. The title narrative poem, maybe Poe's most famous work, follows a man's terrifying descent into madness after the loss of a lover. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49), was born in Boston, USA. He was a short-story writer, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor the detective-fiction genre.
