Poe (1809 - 1849), the American poet and critic best known for his tales of terror, brought the same precision and dread to his speculative writing, probing the limits of science, perception, and human endurance. Together these pieces reveal a foundational imagination at play, and remain essential for anyone drawn to the roots of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68328816083167,"sku":"9781447466093","price":31.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/u0m_K9E65V9781447466093.webp?v=1793209873","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/edgar-allan-poes-tales-of-science-fiction-a-collection-of-short-stories-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
