Publisher's Synopsis
Yes, my friends, Edgar Allan Poe is not only the Master of Horror, but he is also known as the Father of the American Mystery! His prime detective, C. Auguste Dupin, is the epitome of all detectives! And not only was Dupin the obvious inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's more famous Sherlock Holmes, but quite frankly, I'd call C. Auguste Dupin "Sherlock Holmes all coked up and on steroids!" Here are the Dupin tales and more... for your enjoyment. Enjoy the first American Detective stories!
