Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, the comÂpanÂion volÂume to Poe’s better-​known Tales of MysÂtery and ImagÂiÂnaÂtion, conÂtains a selecÂtion of his very best stoÂries, many of which first appeared in book form in the origÂiÂnal Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque in 1840. Many of the stoÂries deal with the familÂiar Poe themes of murÂder, obsesÂsion and pasÂsion, but this volÂume also conÂtains many often-​overlooked tales of the fanÂtasÂtic and comic, parÂoÂdies and hoaxes, includÂing ‘The UnparÂalÂleled AdvenÂture of Hans Pfaall’, ‘MesÂmeric RevÂeÂlaÂtion’, ‘Hop-​Frog’, and & ‘The Imp of the Perverse’.
