Biographical Notes
Explanatory Notes

To be more precise, tales selected from the first 16 years (1817-32) of existence of the long-lived magazine. The first 13 stories are short, while the last four are longish. Given the magazine's influence on Poe, two of them ("The Man in the Bell", "The Buried Alive") feature in Haining's Bedside Companion, while "The Iron Shroud" can be found in his GB Tales Of Terror. Probably many of them cannot be regarded as what we call "horror stories" today.
