Beyond Rue Morgue (Anthology): Further Tales of Edgar Allan Poe's 1st Detective

by Charles Prepolec (Editor), Edgar Allan Poe (Author), Joe R Lansdale (Author), Paul Kane (Editor)

Synopsis

Poe's 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' introduced the world to its first literary detective, Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, and established many literary devices used in future fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Beyond Rue Morgue invites its authors to continue Dupin's exploits, while retaining that touch of the strange and macabre for which Poe's work is so well known.
