He helped invent the modern detective story, and his tales of terror are as chilling and powerful today as they have ever been. This volume includes three of this disturbing tales: "The Tell Tale Heart," in which a murderer avers his sanity while being drive mad by the still-beating heart of his victim; "Hop-Frog," in which an abused, crippled court jester exacts his revenge; and "The Premature Burial," about a man with a fear of being buried alive.
