Everybody has bad dreams. Horrible things move towards you in the dark, things you can hear but not see. Then you wake up, in your own warm bed, and turn over to go back to sleep.

Death is all around you, waiting...In these stories by Edgar Allan Poe, death whispers at you from every dark corner, and fear can send you mad...
