- The Fall of the House of Usher: A Gothic masterpiece tracking the mental decay of the last Usher siblings, whose crumbling mansion mirrors the tragic collapse of their lineage.
- The Murders in the Rue Morgue: Widely recognized as the world's first detective story, this groundbreaking tale introduces C. Auguste Dupin using pure logic to solve an impossible double murder.
