In the Shadow of the Master
It’s the bicentennial of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe—time to celebrate the macabre genius whose work has induced nightmares in generations of readers! Get the party rolling with In the Shadow of the Master, which gathers 16 of his most famous tales like “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Pit and the Pendulum,” as well as an excerpt from his only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.
Accompanying the stories are 20 laudatory essays by Poe’s literary heirs—such shining lights as Sue Grafton, Lawrence Block, Nelson DeMille and Stephen King, who share their thoughts on how Poe has influenced their lives and work.
So raise a toast to the master—may his stories chill souls and haunt imaginations for another 200 years!
