Short Stories

Short Stories collects three adapted tales of the fascinating Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849): The Murders in the Rue Morgue , The Cask of Amontillado , and The Gold-Bug . These horrifying narrations describe visceral situations such as the brutal slaughter of unknown origin in a street of Paris, a grim murder that can only be committed by the most despicable being that has ever existed, and a happy but sinister discovery. While passing through these absorbing pages of logic and absurdity, the reader is encouraged to penetrate into the origin of each tale and understand the thought of this dramatic author.
