In 1846 Edgar Allan Poe argued in his essay "The Philosophy of Composition" that a literary work should be short enough for a reader to finish in one sitting. He has set the standard of excellence to this concept with his legacy of 66 short stories that are presented here. His stories include the genres of horror, satire, humor, fantasy and even science fiction. The stories in this collection are accompanied by early illustrations by Byam Shaw, Harry Clarke, Aubrey Beardsley and others.
