Description:

Written in a time when criminal biographies enjoyed great success, Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders details the life of the irresistible Moll and her struggles through poverty and sin in search of property and power. Born in Newgate Prison to a picaresque mother, Moll propels herself through marriages, periods of success and destitution, and a trip to the New World and back, only to return to the place of her birth as a popular prostitute and brilliant thief. The story of Moll Flanders vividly illustrates Defoe’s themes of social mobility and predestination, sin, redemption and reward.

The Fall of the House of Usher
and Other Stories That Inspired the Netflix Series

by Edgar Allan Poe.

Foreword by Mike Flanagan.
Published by Random House Worlds.
Media TV tie-in edition.
Published 2023.

Hardcover.
ISBN-10: 0593725255
ISBN-13: 978-0593725252

Description:

A deluxe anthology of works by Edgar Allan Poe that inspired Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher, curated by series creator Mike Flanagan.

There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart – an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it – I paused to think – what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher?

Slip behind the bleak walls and vacant windows of Netflix’s reimagining of the mansion of doom in this anthology of works by Edgar Allan Poe that inspired the limited series The Fall of the House of Usher. From well-loved classics like The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart to lesser-known gems such as Tamerlane and The Murders in the Rue Morgue, these collected tales have withstood the test of time, haunting readers for nearly two hundred years.

With a foreword by series creator and horror maverick Mike Flanagan, this anthology is the perfect viewer’s companion to Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

Julia Alvarez, on writing:

A novel is not, after all, a historical document, but a way to travel through the human heart.
