Zostup do Maelströmu
Cieľom umelca je vytvárať nádherné vízie: divoká krása Maelströmu, prchavé čaro umierajúcej víly, okultné imaginácie armagedonu, kozmické cesty naprieč priestorom a časom... Poviedky Edgara Allana Poea však nie sú iba víziami, akokoľvek podmanivými. Pre citlivého čitateľa sú pomyselnými kľúčovými dierkami, ktorými môže nahliadnuť do autorovho vnútra a zachytiť tak odblesky jeho názorov, estetického vkusu, filozofie a záujmov, ktoré hýbali jeho svetom. Nadšenie spoločnosti z technických výdobytkov čias, na ktoré Poe reagoval s veľkým zaujatím a entuziazmom, premietol aj do skupiny poviedok, v ktorých sa opiera o vedu a techniku. S typickým rozprávačským majstrovstvom ich prifarbuje dobrodružstvom, mystikou i svojimi jedinečnými víziami a vytvára pravé poeovské sci-fi. Zbierka prináša okrem vedecko-fantastických poviedok aj jedno pôvabné fantasy (Ostrov víl).

Also included is Poe s only full-length novel, "Narrative of A. Gordon Pym." With an Introduction by Stephen Marlowe and an Afterword by Regina Marler"

Die Maske des roten Todes
Ungeachtet der Tatsache, dass eine Krankheit die Hälfte der Untertanen dahinrafft, gibt Prinz Prospero, der sich in eine von ihm entworfene Abtei zurückgezogen hat und in Sicherheit wiegt, einen pompösen Maskenball. Prinz Prospero liebt das Außergewöhnliche, sein Geschmack ist sonderbar. Er hat einen guten Blick für Licht und Farben. Durch die Gestaltung der Räumlichkeiten nimmt er beträchtlichen Einfluss auf die Erscheinung der Maskierten, durch fein abgestimmte Stimmungen – zum Beispiel das Licht, etc. Die Veranstaltung findet in sieben Räumen statt, von denen nie mehr als einer vollständig gesehen werden kann. Im ersten Raum befinden sich gotische Fenster mit bunten Gläsern, die der Farbe der Fensterdekoration entsprechen. Der zweite Raum ist purpur, der dritte grün, der vierte orange. Ein weiterer Festsaal ist weiß, der nächste violett und schließlich gibt es einen schwarzen Saal mit scharlachroten Fenstern.
