To understand Selby's work is to understand the anguish of America." - The New York Times Book Review

Dive into this classic from the singular mind of Edgar Allan Poe, who is widely regarded as the master of short horror fiction.

With amazing economy, Poe plunges the reader into a state of deliciously agonizing suspense. It's a must-read for fans of the golden era of horror writing.

A continuum of bleak, 
Meaningless as I speak,
Redundant am I,
All truth - a lie.
Can another save my soul,
Before mine ash of cindered coal?
