      Folklore of Leicestershire and Rutland
    • El norteamericano Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) es considerado como el padre de la novela fantástica y de terror, además de ser el creador de la novela policíaca moderna. Sus obras son, en parte, una reproducción de su agitada vida aventurera e inestable. Fue perseguido por la desgracia desde su nacimiento hasta su prematura muerte tras un malogrado matrimonio, así como su desmedida afición por el alcohol. Todos sus cuentos y relatos están envueltos en un peculiar halo de misterio. El gato negro es uno de sus cuentos más conocidos, donde combina el horror y la psicología, y es considerado uno de los cuentos más espeluznantes de la literatura. Contiene también: - El diablo en el campanario - La máscara de la muerte roja - El entierro prematuro - El poder de las palabras - Eleonora - Conversación con una momia
