You are about to enter a world where you will be shocked, terrified, and, though you'll be too scared to admit it at first, secretly thrilled. Here are four tales -- \u003ci\u003eThe Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, Hop-Frog, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Fall of the House of Usher\u003c\/i\u003e -- by the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. The original tales have been ever so slightly dismembered -- but, of course, Poe understood dismemberment very well. And he would shriek in ghoulish delight at Gris Grimly's gruesomely delectable illustrations that adorn every page. So prepare yourself. And keep the lights on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, poet, and critic.
