Ancestral curse, bloody madness, inevitable fate and a creepy Gothic atmosphere are mixed in the frightening stories of Edgar Allan Poe, a virtuoso maestro of horror. Once you open the pages of this book, you will find yourself on the other side of reality, in a world full of dark and tragic events. Here you will step into the cursed mansion of the Escher family, see the underside of a painful obsession and hear about the sins of dark souls. A piercing refrain through the filigree translations of K. D. Balmont, L. I. Umanets and M. N. Engelhardt will sweep through the fatal “nevermore” and tighten the suffocating the loop of fate of the heroes of Scary Stories.
