The Murders in the Rue Morgue and Other Mystery Stories

The Murders in the Rue Morgue and Other Mystery Stories

Our Review

One of the best things about Poe was that he knew how to compress a story very well, to prevent the reader from losing that intense effect that a good short read leaves you with. This book does not lose Poe's dark side, but it introduces elements that show you a different side of the author.

If you are passionate about detective novels and horror, Edgar Allan Poe masterfully merges them in the stories starring detective Auguste Dupin. Among them, The Murders in the Rue Morgue stands out, considered the first detective story in history, as it lays the foundations of the genre with all its classic elements.

In just a couple of afternoons, you will enjoy this literary classic, rediscovering the origin of the detective genre.

  • The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, and The Purloined Letter: The three most famous cases of the ingenious detective Auguste Dupin.

About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, 1809 - Baltimore, 1849) is remembered as one of the great masters of the horror story. However, his talent encompassed much more: he wrote science fiction, fantasy, and was a pioneer of the detective genre. He was a poet, journalist, and a relentless literary critic. His life, like his stories, remains an enigma that has captivated the world.
