"Life is hard and dangerous for both people and animals in the frozen Canadian North. For a wolf like White Fang it is a continuous fight to find food - a fight in which many animals die. When White Fang meets the people of the North - first Indians and then White Men - he learns to live with them like a dog. But some men are cruel to their dogs and others are kind. Will White Fang's life be any easier now?" --Back cover

READ BY DAVID SOUL Duration: 2 hours 28 minutes Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was an American poet, writer, editor and literary critic. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe’s full-blooded Gothic style influenced generations of writers, filmmakers and musicians, from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Baudelaire to Roger Corman and Lou Reed. The five tales collected here range from the famous to the obscure, but each displays Poe's unique sense of the macabre and his love for the baroque. A victim of the Inquisition finds himself in a nightmarish torture chamber, a castle is besieged by plague, a man becomes obsessed by the evil eye of his fellow lodger, a mesmerist suspends a man's life at the point of death and a jester takes his revenge on his cruel employers.

“Risalire alle origini dell’immaginario più nero, assistere alla nascita dei luoghi comuni dell’horror, spolverare il più tetro mobilio della nostra anima ritrovandolo sghembo e scomodo. Questo è leggere, nel nuovo millennio, Dracula. Una lettura che – rubando le parole a Jonathan Harker – ti cala nel romanzo dove ‘tutte le superstizioni del mondo si concentrano’. Come se, questo libro, fosse il centro di una specie di vortice dell’immaginazione.”
