The result is a yarn as thrilling as any of Poe's horror stories.\u003cbr\u003eAlongside Pym's exploits, this collection includes many celebrated tales, such as 'The Cask of Amontillado', 'The Gold Bug' and 'Hop-Frog', as well as Poe's second, unfinished novel, The Journal of Julius Rodman, all of which bear witness to the narrative genius of one of America's greatest storytellers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents: \u003c\/b\u003e The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, Loss of Breath, Mystification, How to write a Blackwood Article, A Predicament, The Balloon Hoax, The Cask of Amontillado, The Gold Bug, Hop-Frog, The Journal of Julius Rodman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Boston, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was brought up by the Allan merchant family after the death of his mother and being abandoned by his father.
