Long before the genre had a name, the master of American Gothic turned his imagination to balloon voyages, cosmic catastrophe, and mesmerism, in a set of tales that helped invent modern science fiction.

Gathered here are some of Edgar Allan Poe's most forward-looking works, among them 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall', 'The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion', and 'A Descent into the Maelstrom'. Poe (1809 - 1849), the American poet and critic best known for his tales of terror, brought the same precision and dread to his speculative writing, probing the limits of science, perception, and human endurance. Together these pieces reveal a foundational imagination at play, and remain essential for anyone drawn to the roots of the genre.
