Contains four original works by Edgard Allen Poe: "The Masque of the Red Death" "An Appendix of Autographs;" "To One Departed" and "Life in Death." Rebound with most of original boards present. Modern leather spine. Hardcover. Steel engraved plates mezzotints & colored fashion drawings. 308 pages. "Two women have been brutally slain inside a locked fourth-floor room and yet one's body is outside the other is disturbingly and firmly stuffed up the chimney. Writing at a time before the term "detective" was coined Poe drew on no pre-existing trope of drawing room logical revelation. Such a conceit is now so overwhelmingly prevalent it's hard to imagine a time when it had yet to bore its way into any written story. Poe's Dupin defines the archetype applying logic objective facts and reason to solve the case in dramatic fashion." - Swanns Auction Provenance: From the library of Edgar S.

First separate printing of the story originally printed as "Facts of M. Valdemar's Case" in the American Review of December 1845. Poe's tale of a mesmerist who attempts to explore the prolonging of life by hypnotizing a man at the moment he is dying. The mesmerist succeeds in suspending his subject between not quite alive and not quite dead with the macabre consequences that characterize Poe's most effective horror fiction. The story caused considerable controversy upon its magazine publication with some readers believing it to be a factual account of a medical experiment rather than fiction; a testament to Poe's documentary style in this piece.
