Tales of Mystery & Imagination by Edgar Allen Poe | Easton Press 1975

Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe, published by Easton Press, 1975. Condition is extremely good with only some light scratches on the outside page edges. Otherwise presenting beautifully throughout.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809 to 1849) is the undisputed father of Gothic fiction and the modern horror and detective story, a writer whose influence stretches from Arthur Conan Doyle and H. P. Lovecraft to Stephen King and beyond. Works including The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Murders in the Rue Morgue, the latter widely considered the first modern detective story, established Poe as one of the most original and influential literary voices America has ever produced. His work has never been out of print since his death and has been adapted for film, television, and stage more times than almost any other author in history.

This 1975 Easton Press edition, from the publisher’s earliest years of production following its founding in 1973, is among its most collectible period of output and presents Poe’s most celebrated tales in the fine leather binding the press is renowned for.

A wonderful addition for collectors of Gothic and horror literature, American literary classics, early Easton Press editions, or simply one of the most iconic names in the history of world literature.
