Darkness There, Forevermore: A Collection of Madness and Melancholy

Experience the Master of the Macabre Like Never Before in This Stunning, Full-Color Illustrated Edition

Step into the feverish dreams of a literary genius. This is not just another "greatest hits" collection. This volume, Darkness There, Forevermore, has been meticulously curated around Edgar Allan Poe's most chilling and defining psychological obsession: the "Imp of the Perverse."

These are tales for the wrong's sake -- stories of men and women who commit acts of madness and self-destruction for no other reason than they know they shouldn't. It is the force that drives a person to confess to a perfect crime, to harm what they love most, to stare into the abyss simply because the abyss is there. From the suffocating guilt of "The Tell-Tale Heart" to the cold revenge of "The Cask of Amontillado" and the haunting despair of "The Raven," every story and poem in this collection was chosen to explore that dark, irresistible impulse.
