Box Terríveis Mestres
BOX EXCLUSIVO REUNINDO TRÊS MESTRES DA EDGAR ALLAN POE, H.P. LOVECRAFT E ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Chegou a noite.
O extraordinário que arrepia.
O estranho que nos arrebata.
A imaginação que nos assombra.
Essas são algumas das sensações que podemos sentir – e apenas tentar explicar em palavras – ao ler autores como Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft e Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, pela primeira vez reunidos neste box exclusivo. Aqui, você encontrará um compilado de histórias essenciais para quem sempre preferiu as 6 "Histórias primordiais" de Poe, responsável por, de certa maneira, criar os contos de terror; 6 "Histórias favoritas" de Lovecraft, eleitas pelos fãs do autor em pesquisa da comunidade The H.P. Lovecraft Archive; e 6 "Histórias de horror" de Doyle, o maior contista policial da história numa faceta desconhecida como a noite, mas essencial como nossa adoração por ela.
Chegou a hora de explorar os seus instintos. Boa sorte.

About the author
Edgar Allan Poe
9,907 books28.7k followersThe name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.
Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. This is the Poe of legend. But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author’s name.
The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January 19, 1809. Edgar was the second of three children. His other brother William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poe’s sister Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls’ school. Within three years of Poe’s birth both of his parents had died, and he was taken in by the wealthy tobacco merchant John Allan and his wife Frances Valentine Allan in Richmond, Virginia while Poe’s siblings went to live with other families. Mr. Allan would rear Poe to be a businessman and a Virginia gentleman, but Poe had dreams of being a writer in emulation of his childhood hero the British poet Lord Byron. Early poetic verses found written in a young Poe’s handwriting on the backs of Allan’s ledger sheets reveal how little interest Poe had in the tobacco business.

Esse box é lindo. Vem com dois posters, bom acabamento. Orelhas. Comprei pensando na variedade, pois são três autores. Doyle me surpreendeu, porque só conhecia os trabalhos com o Sherlock. As atmosferas criadas pelo Edgar Allan Poe e Lovecraft são incríveis (embora Lovecraft seja meio problemático em algumas passagens).

No Box é incluso histórias de horror muito interessante de atores clássicos do assunto. A minha história favorita foi "O Horror de Dunwich" de Lovecraft. Todas as histórias são muito legais e curtas, facilitando muito a leitura rápida do box. Além de que, é muito bonito e decorativo para o seu quarto kakaak.
