Book Description
"The Cask of Amontillado" is one of Edgar Allan Poe's most enduring works. This is a collection of his greatest tales of grime and darkness, with his poem, "The Raven," included as a bonus. Naturally, there is debate about which of Poe's stories are really his greatest ones, with much having to do with one's personal preference. Still, the fifteen included in this edition are undoubtedly strong contenders for the distinction. Included short stories in this volume: "The "Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Black Cat," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Purloined Letter," "Ms. Found in a Bottle," "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," "The Premature Burial," "The Masque of Red Death," "The Balloon Hoax," "William Wilson," "The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether," and last but not least, "Hop Frog."

Book Description
She has just given birth to their child. He labels her postpartum depression as »hysteria.« He rents the attic in an old country house. Here, she is to rest alone – forbidden to leave her room. Instead of improving, she starts hallucinating, imagining herself crawling with other women behind the room's yellow wallpaper. And secretly, she records her experiences. The Yellow Wall-Paper [1892] is the short but intense, Gothic horror story, written as a diary, about a woman in an attic – imprisoned in her gender; by the story. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist novella was long overlooked in American literary history. Nowadays, it is counted among the classics. CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN (1860–1935), born in Hartford, Connecticut, was an American feminist theorist, sociologist, novelist, short story writer, poet, and playwright. Her writings are precursors to many later feminist theories. With her radical life attitude, Perkins Gilman has been an inspiration for many generations of feminists in the USA. Her most famous work is the short story The Yellow Wall-Paper [1892], written when she suffered from postpartum psychosis.
