First published in Graham's Magazine, April 1841, this tale is a literary landmark: the first modern detective story. There are no clues for police specialist C. August Dupin -- only a room in "wildest disorder" with all the doors and windows locked, a blood-smeared razor and a body shoved up a chimney. Who could have done this? And more importantly, why? Also included in this collection: "The Purloined Letter," "The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade," "A Descent into the Maelstrom," "The Raven" and "The Masque of the Red Death."
