Master of the Gothic and creator of the detective genre, Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous writers in all of American literature. His opium-tinged 'Ligeia' is a classic example of his macabre, entertaining style. Many of the earliest and most interesting vampire stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
