After reading an 1836 newspaper account of a shipwreck and its two survivors, Edgar Allan Poe penned his only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, the story of a stowaway on a Nantucket whaleship who finds himself enmeshed in the dark side of life at sea: mutiny, cannibalism, savagery—even death. As Jeffrey Meyers writes in his Introduction: “[Poe] remains contemporary because he appeals to basic human feelings and expresses universal themes common to all men in all languages: dreams, love, loss; grief, mourning, alienation; terror, revenge, murder; insanity, disease, and death.” Within the pages of this novel, we encounter nearly all of them.

Edgar Allan Poe’s dream poem is as close to music as words can ever come. First published on October 9, 1849 – two days after Poe’s death – this haunting, lyric poem is thought to have been written in memory of Poe’s young wife, Virginia, who died in 1847. Gilles Tibo has set the poem in his native Quebec, where the narrator and his childhood love Annabel Lee discover the beauty of the rugged, wind-swept Gaspé Peninsula. But when Annabel Lee dies and is borne away as mysteriously as she had come, the dream goes on, refreshed each time that the moon beams and the stars shine down upon the great rock of Percé that becomes her sepulcher.

Born to an unfortunate heritage, orphaned, unsympathetically raised, and then abandoned, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for greatness in an adverse social and economic climate -- a setting not improved by his fiery temperament and caustic criticism of others. Poe's melancholy brilliance, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented soul would make him one of the most widely read and original writers in American literature. Here, in one volume, are his classic short works: masterpieces of horror, terror, humor, and adventure -- and the finest lyric and narrative poetry of this ill-fated genius whose influence on both prose and verse continues to this day.
Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.

Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poe’s verse in this complete poetry collection. Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric “To Helen,” to his immortal masterpieces, “Annabel Lee,” “The Bells,” and “The Raven,” Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti. Today his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in poems such as “The Haunted Palace” and “The Conqueror Worm,” with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in “Eldorado” a talisman to hold during our darkest moments—a timeless gift from a great American writer.

Montresor tells the story of the night that he took his revenge on Fortunato, a fellow nobleman. Angry over some unspecified insult, he plots to murder his friend during Carnival when the man is drunk, dizzy, and wearing a jester's motley.
He baits Fortunato by telling him he has obtained what he believes to be a pipe (about 130 gallons) of Amontillado, a rare and valuable sherry wine. He claims he wants his friend's expert opinion on the subject. Fortunato goes with Montresor to the wine cellars of the latter's palazzo, where they wander in the catacombs. Montresor offers De Grave, a wine, to Fortunato; at one point, Fortunato makes an elaborate and—to the narrator's eyes—grotesque gesture with an upraised wine bottle. When Montresor appears not to recognize the gesture, Fortunato asks, "You are not of the masons?" Montresor says he is, and when Fortunato, disbelieving, requests a sign, Montresor displays a trowel he had been hiding.
Montresor warns Fortunato, who has a bad cough, of the damp, and suggests they go back; Fortunato insists on continuing, claiming that "[he] shall not die of a cough." During their walk, Montresor mentions his family coat of arms: a foot in a blue background crushing a snake whose fangs are embedded in the foot's heel, with the motto Nemo me impune lacessit (No one attacks me with impunity). When they come to a niche, Montresor tells his victim that the Amontillado is within. Fortunato enters and, drunk and unsuspecting, does not resist as Montresor quickly chains him to the wall. Montresor then declares that, since Fortunato won't go back, he must "positively leave [him]."
Montresor walls up the niche, entombing his friend alive. At first, Fortunato, who recovers from his drunken state faster than Montresor anticipated he would, shakes the chains, trying to escape. The narrator stops working for a while so he can enjoy the sound. Fortunato then screams for help, but Montresor mocks his cries, knowing nobody can hear them. Fortunato laughs weakly and tries to pretend that he is the subject of a joke and that people will be waiting for him (including the Lady Fortunato). As the murderer finishes the topmost row of stones, Fortunato wails "For the love of God, Montresor!" Montresor replies, "Yes, for the love of God!" He listens for a reply but hears only the jester's bells ringing. Before placing the last stone, he drops a burning torch through the gap. He claims that he feels sick at heart, but dismisses this reaction as an effect of the dampness of the catacombs.
In the last few sentences, Montresor reveals that it has been 50 years since the murder, he has never been caught, and Fortunato's body still hangs from its chains in the niche where he left it. The murderer, seemingly unrepentant, ends the story by remarking: In pace requiescat (may he rest in peace).

Edgar Allan Poe was one of the earliest pioneers of the short story and perfected the tale of psychological horror.

Includes The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, and The Purloined Letter
Between 1841 and 1844, Edgar Allan Poe invented the genre of detective fiction with three mesmerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin. Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune to live on. Years later, Dorothy Sayers would describe “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” as “almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice.” Indeed, Poe’s short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today, the Dupin stories still stand out as unique, utterly engrossing page-turners.
This Modern Library edition reproduces the definitive texts of the three tales. It includes an enlightening Introduction by novelist Matthew Pearl and an Appendix, “The Earliest Detectives.”

This single volume brings together all of Poe's stories and poems, and illuminates the diverse and multifaceted genius of one of the greatest and most influential figures in American literary history.

Edgar Allan Poe’s gift for the macabre–his genius in finding the strangeness lurking at the heart of things–was so extraordinary that he exerted a major influence on Baudelaire and French symbolism, on Freudian analysis, and also on the detective novel and the Hollywood movie. His psychologically profound stories of encounters with the marvelous, the uncanny, and the dreadful represent–in contrast to the optimism of writers like Emerson and Whitman–the other, darker side of the nineteenth-century American sensibility.

序言
埃德加·爱伦·坡(1809—1849)，是美国文学史上一个无法忽略的名字。他是天才诗人、小说家和文学评论家，而以侦探、惊悚、悬疑小说最负盛名，是公认的侦探推理小说鼻祖、科幻小说先驱、恐怖小说大师。他是一个永远沉迷于思维和幻想的作家，喜欢描写荒凉的虚幻的世界，是第一个开掘人类意识深处最幽暗隐秘领域的人。他凭借广博的知识、卓越的想象力、冷静的逻辑思维和高超的文字驾驭功底，在梦幻与现实、理性与迷狂的两极间游刃有余，其作品在任何时代都是独一无二的。
1809年1月19日，爱伦·坡出生在波士顿一个巡回演员的家庭里，三岁时就成了孤儿，后由约翰与弗朗西丝·爱伦夫妇抚养长大，更名埃德加·爱伦·坡。早年，爱伦‘坡一度就读于弗吉尼亚大学，后于1830年5月进入西点军校，因不满军校的压抑生活，经常刻意违反校规，在1831年1月受军事法庭审判后被开除，此后开始真正从事文学工作，并以独特的风格跻身小有名气的文学评论家行列。
或许是继承自家庭的戏剧天分，加之幼年培养起来的不安全感与叛逆性格，使得爱伦·坡在文学上拥有独特的气质。作为美国历史上第一位职业作家，他终生只以写作为生，但却长期处于困顿之中。1847年，爱妻弗吉尼亚死于肺结核，爱伦·坡备受打击，自此堕入酗酒与精神错乱中。两年后的10月7日，爱伦·坡逝世于巴尔的摩，时年40岁。
爱伦·坡一生创作颇丰，代表作品有悬疑小说《黑猫》、《丽姬娅》、《莫格街凶杀案》、《泄密的心脏》、《金甲虫》、《威廉之死》、《玛丽·罗杰疑案》、《厄榭府的倒塌》，长篇小说《阿·戈·皮姆历险记》，诗歌《乌鸦》、《致安娜贝尔李》，文学理论著作《写作的哲学》、《诗歌原理》等。
爱伦·坡死后，他的名誉长期受到诽谤攻击，但他的作品却泽被后世，流传各国，对世界文坛产生了深远的影响。后世不少作家和诗人都对爱伦·坡十分推崇，其中最为著名的有科幻小说家儒勒·凡尔纳，侦探小说家柯南·道尔，法国象征主义顶峰时代诗人波德莱尔、马拉美，《金银岛》的作者斯蒂文森，以及素有日本“侦探推理小说之父”之称的江户川乱步等。20世纪极负盛名的电影导演希区柯克与蒂姆·伯顿也都是爱伦·坡的忠实拥趸。
爱伦·坡对儒勒·凡尔纳的影响是具有持久力的，从1864年的《地心游记》、1881年的《大木筏》到1897年的《冰岛怪兽》，凡尔纳的不少作品都有着浓重的爱伦·坡的影响印记，甚至在“登月三部曲”中把大炮俱乐部的总部设在了美国的巴尔的摩，算是以此向爱伦·坡致敬吧。法国大诗人波德莱尔则曾花费十年时间翻译出版爱伦·坡的短篇小说，并称其是自己“文学创作的老师”、“困苦一生的知交”。
特别值得一提的是，爱伦·坡的悬疑小说以其离奇神秘、惊悚阴郁和推理严谨的风格吸引了大批读者，在世界文坛经久不衰。他在《莫格街凶杀案》等三篇小说中创造了一个业余侦探迪潘的形象，他是作者自我理想的化身，所以被塑造成具有超人智力、观察人微、料事如神的神探。为了衬托他的了不起，又借一个对他无限钦佩、相形见绌的朋友来叙述他的事迹，此外还加上一个头脑愚钝、动机虽好而屡犯错误的警探作为对比。主人公在破案过程中采用逻辑严谨的心理分析法等，有条不紊地迫使罪犯一步步就范归案，最终再由主人公洋洋自得、滔滔不绝地解释其全过程。
爱伦·坡这种独创的写作手法，使得后世的侦探小说家绝少能脱其窠臼。柯南·道尔笔下的福尔摩斯和华生医生，阿加莎·克里斯蒂笔下的大侦探波洛和黑斯廷斯上尉，都因袭了爱伦·坡的这种写法。正是基于此，以作家名字命名的埃德加·爱伦·坡奖于1946年诞生了，它是为全世界优秀侦探小说家创设的最具权威的奖项，每年4月由美国侦探作家协会(MWA)颁发，全世界的侦探小说作家们莫不以获得此奖为荣。
为了让爱伦·坡的文学爱好者和喜好惊悚推理小说的读者能够读到更多的作品，我们特别编译了这本《爱伦·坡暗黑故事全集》，在这里，暗黑几乎是所有作品的基调，但又风格各异，相信读者一定会对其爱不释手。
“我曾经有过一个梦，在梦中我看见了一艘船在海上，在午夜，在一场雨雪交加的风暴中……它现在船帆撕裂，桅杆折断，不受控制地在凶猛的巨浪中颠簸着。甲板上是一个纤细、模糊、美丽的身影，一个朦胧的男人，显然他在享受着这所有的恐惧、昏暗和动乱，他同时是这一切的核心和牺牲者。这可怕的梦中人可能就代表着爱伦·坡——他的精神、他的命运、他的诗歌和他的故事，其本身就是可怕的梦……”
惠特曼的这段评论，也许能引领读者更好地体味本书，体味谜一般的爱伦·坡。
