Tales of Mystery & Imagination Edgar Allan PoeSeries: Horror Classics Date Added: 23 Jan 2007 Summary: This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with unknown terrors or preoccupied with seemingly insoluble mysteries. The Tell-Tale Heart and The Fall of the House of Usher are key works in the horror canon, while in The Mystery of Marie Roget we find the origins of modern detective fiction. Collectively, these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poe's prose work before his premature death in 1849.

The Island of Dr. Moreau H.G. WellsSeries: Horror Classics Reader Rating: 4.5 (59 votes) Date Added: 17 Dec 2006 Summary: A shipwreck in the South Seas, a palm-tree paradise where a mad doctor conducts vile experiments, animals that become human and then "beastly" in ways they never were before--it's the stuff of high adventure. It's also a parable about Darwinian theory, a social satire in the vein of Jonathan Swift ("Gulliver's Travels"), and a bloody tale of horror. Or, as H. G. Wells himself wrote about this story, ""The Island of Dr. Moreau" is an exercise in youthful blasphemy. Now and then, though I rarely admit it, the universe projects itself towards me in a hideous grimace. It grimaced that time, and I did my best to express my vision of the aimless torture in creation." This colorful tale by the author of "The Time Machine", "The Invisible Man", and "The War of the Worlds" lit a firestorm of controversy at the time of its publication in 1896.
