The third in the Modern Library's series of original compilations, The Raven and the Monkey's Paw is a collection of classic tales and poems to engage our fear-seeking senses. The beauty of these stories and poems lies in their readability: ideal for sharing aloud around the campfire or for a quick, thrilling dip . . . under the covers with a flashlight. The writing itself sends as many awe-inspired shivers down the spine as do the ghosts and goblins on these pages.

Edgar Allan Poe, the master of the horror story and the chiming lyric poem, opens the volume with his best-loved stories: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Premature Burial," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "Berenice," and "Ligeia." Every bit as chilling now as on the day they were written, these tales retain their power to stir the reader again and again. Poe, who was as well known for his poems as for his stories, is also represented by such verse standards as "The Raven," "Lenore," "To Helen," "Ulalume," and "Annabel Lee," among others.

Numerous other practitioners of the supernatural story are included: Edith Wharton, with her gripping "Afterward"; Charles Dickens and his famed ghost story "The Signalman"; W. W. Jacobs, with this compilation's inspiration, "The Monkey's Paw." Also here are Saki's engrossing "Sredni Vashtar"; O. Henry's story of love lost and hopes dashed, "The Furnished Room"; Wilkie Collins's lively "A Terribly Strange Bed"; and "The Boarded Window," Ambrose Bierce's tale of the bizarre.

A year-round collection for reading aloud--and frightening your friends--The Raven and the Monkey's Paw will gratify all manner of thrill-seekers.

Great Hold-All
This seems to be well-made and I like the configuration. It should hold passport, ID, credit cards, cash and any travel docs with no problem. It is a bit larger than I expected, however, so that will have an impact on what sort of purse, belt bag, or etc. I use to carry it. My biggest issue with this and ANY RFID blocking wallets/purses/etc. is that I wish the manufacturers would add a sewn in tag or imprint on the product itself that SAYS it's RFID blocking. After time goes buy it gets hard to remember which items in your travel stash are or aren't. I've used a Sharpie to mark this one, but it would be nice if the manufacturer did so professionally.

The most complete, compact wallet I've ever seen!!
This is the most complete, compact wallet I have ever seen, there is a space for everything, even coins. I ordered 2, one for me and one for him. Mine does not fit in my purse, it's 10 inches long. I'm debating, should I return mine or keep it. I've searched for one similar, less than 10 inches, and found nothing. He is so excited and happy, he has already filled his up. This is the only wallet one needs AND it's RFID blocking.
