Tales of Mystery and Imagination. London: OUP, 1928. Small 8vo. Handsomely bound in quarter dark blue morocco over marbled boards. Raised bands, with title labels lettered in gilt. A fine copy.

Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination is a collection of his short stories, first gathered under that title in 1902 (though the tales were written throughout the 1830s–40s).

It includes such landmark works as “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Black Cat,” “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.”

An Ideal gift copy.
