Loss of Breath

Edgar Allan Poe — a famous American writer, one of the pioneers and brightest stars of the genres of psychological prose and classic detective fiction. The greatest popularity was gained by the so-called “horror stories” of the author, and if you associate his name mainly... with mysticism and horrors, — this collection will surprise you. It contains brilliant satirical and experimental novellas, in which the dreadful intertwines with the hilariously funny, and metaphors acquire existential depth. The adventures of a man without breath and signs of life, a remarkable conversation with a seven-hundred-year-old mummy (a man still quite young) and memories of a death that occurred for the sake of joy in the present. These and other incredible plots — strange, amusing, frightening, and thought-provoking.
