This collection of the master of horror and suspense includes: The Cask of Amontillad, Eleonora, and the Imp of the Perverse.

“The Cask of Amontillado,” is a dark, chilling tale of revenge and betrayal, first published in 1846. It is considered one of Poe’s finest works, showcasing his mastery of gothic storytelling and psychological horror.

“Eleonora” is a short story first published in 1841, exploring themes of love, loss, and the transcendence of the soul. Unlike many of Poe’s darker tales, “Eleonora” has a more ethereal and redemptive tone, focusing on romantic devotion and spiritual renewal.

“The Imp of the Perverse” is an essay and short story published in 1845, exploring the psychological concept of self-sabotage—the compulsion to do what one knows is wrong, simply because it is forbidden or self-destructive. The piece begins as a philosophical meditation and transitions into a macabre tale illustrating this concept.
