The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, Thou Art the Man!, The Purloined Letter and The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall are these wonderful detective stories here in new reprinted paperback. Poe established not only the brilliant amateur sleuth and his highly dumb sidekick, but also witness interviews, the armchair detective, solving a real murder abandoned by police, hiding critical evidence in plain sight, false clues, and even the first supposed murder committed by an animal. Having invented and made the detective genre wildly popular, Poe moved on. He felt that people overestimated the worth of the stories, because Dupin, his detective, was so ingenious. It was the chain of logic that interested the writer and without him there would be no Holmes, no Poirot and no Famous Five. Enjoy an early Poe detective story Thou Art the Man! which seeks to uncover the murder of the wealthy Barnabus Shuttleworthy, and the tale of an adventure to reach the Moon in a revolutionary new balloon. 206 page new full price paperback.
