  • Hop-Frog

    par Edgar Allan Poe ...
    Collections series Horror Classics
    As with "The Cask of Amontillado", this story is centred around revenge as the only possible outcome for the insulted protagonist.

  • A Dream Within a Dream

    par Edgar Allan Poe ...
    Collections series Horror Classics
    An example of Poe's melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet's own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker's ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet ... En savoir plus

  • The Fall of the House of Usher

    par Edgar Allan Poe ...

Running along the "dull, dark, and soundless" corridors of Usher's mansion or conversing with the terror-stricken and husky voice of its master, Poe's story reeks of morbidity and schizophrenia.
