About this ebook
Poe’s works are characterized by an overarching sense of melancholy, a fact often viewed by critics as an echo of his own tragic experiences. His characters are reclusive, with a fondness for deep contemplation as in the case of “A Tell-Tale Heart.” Reading further into the nuances of some of his works in the light of a global pandemic, it has been noticed that Poe plays with isolation – or quarantine – to form a canvas upon which he lets his characters paint themselves. This anthology includes some of Poe’s finest works which can be read, and hopefully, open new avenues of interpretations owing to our newfound familiarity with quarantine and how it affects the psyche
