90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books Edgar Allen Poe's short stories have lost none of their power to horrify. He remains a destabilizingly terse sketcher out of ideas, a writer who allows the reader to fill in the many ghastly blanks in his narratives of violence, retribution and animalism. It is hard to recommend Hop-Frog wholeheartedly (its original subtitle was- Or, The Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs) as it is such an affront to decency, but you will certainly never forget it.
