Publisher's Synopsis
The Works Of Edgar Allan Poe is a collection of short life stories of Edgar Allan Poe which are very engaging. The book includes various famous stories such as The unparalleled adventures of one Hans Pfaal which is an extremely long-winded science fiction tale about traveling to the moon in a balloon, which makes this tale into a great adventurous science fiction tale. One tale, Four Beasts in One, transports the reader to ancient Syria where they witness a strange ritual involving an emperor of Syria who is clothed as an odd hybrid beast and is praised for his brutality. The oval portrait, a science fiction or police procedural that is one of the book's most well-known stories, is succinct and to the point without sacrificing any of its power due to its concision or lack of detailed cataloging. A girl who was painted to death is the main subject of this ghost story.
