Beyond Rue Morgue (Anthology): Further Tales of Edgar Allan Poe’s 1st Detective

Edgar Allan Poe’s 1841 short story The Murders in the Rue Morgue introduced the world to its first literary detective, Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin. The book also established many literary devices that would appear in future fictional detective novels, including the Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot stories. British horror writer Simon Clark is among a number of contemporary authors (including Jonathan Maberry and Lisa Tuttle) to continue Dupin’s exploits in this excellent short story collection, which also retains elements of the macabre and strange for which Poe’s works are remembered.
