This antiquarian volume contains Edgar Allen Poe’s 1844 short story, "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains". An unnamed narrator recounts the story of Augustus Bedloe, a sufferer of neuralgia who was once under the care of an aged physician and devotee to the theory of mesmerism. After imbibing his daily dose of coffee and morphine, Bedloe embarks on his usual walk to the Ragged Mountains, but finds himself in entirely unusual surroundings. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains" now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
