Kuulsa ameerika kirjaniku Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) fantastiliste ning õudusjuttude kogumik annab hea ülevaate nüüdisaja novelli ja detektiiv- ning ulmekirjanduse ühe rajaja loomingust.
Punase surma mask
Edgar Allan Poe´d teatakse rohkem kui õudus- ja kriminaallugude autorit. Käesolev raamat tutvustab aga ameerika kirjandusklassikut märksa mitmekülgsemalt – kui humoristi, kelle grotesksed õudusmaalingud võivad teinekord ootamatult omandada terava iroonia- ja sarkasmivarjundi ning muutuda suisa ühiskonnakriitiliseks pilapildiks. Lisaks klassikaliste õuduslugude uustõlgetele leidub siin ka Edgar Allan Poe iroonilisi naljalugusid, millel ilmneb sageli sügavam ja filosoofilisemgi tasand.

"Eureka" (1848) is a lengthy non-fiction work by American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) which he subtitled "A Prose Poem", though it has also been subtitled as "An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe".
