A dramatic tale of destruction.
Edgar Allan Poe's first published short story (January 1932).
In a writing career that spanned barely two decades (he died in his 41st year) Edgar Allan Poe penned over 70 short stories. These the American incessantly revised over the years and many became standards of the short form (like βThe Fall Of The House of Usherβ or βThe Pit and the Pendulumβ).
But for our five fictional tales, we burrow down amongst Poeβs lesser-known, and often dark, gems.
