by Edgar Allan Poe

About 6 h 20 min of reading28 chapters

The second volume contains twenty-two tales, and nearly all of Poe's best-known stories of terror are here: The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, The Masque of the Red Death, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Premature Burial and William Wilson, the story of a man pursued by his double. The Purloined Letter, the third Dupin story, opens the collection, and there are also hoaxes and philosophical pieces such as The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar and A Descent into the Maelström, along with the landscape sketch The Domain of Arnheim. Most run to a few pages; Poe believed a tale should be read at one sitting, and wrote accordingly. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
