The Tell-Tale Heart first saw publication in The Pioneer in January of 1843. With this story Edgar Allan Poe created an atmosphere of escalating madness that became the new standard of horror writing. Poe has also been credited with spawning other entire genres of fiction such as the modern day detective story and science-fiction.
Poe’s writing inspired countless authors who came to prominence during the golden age of the Pulp Era. Authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury all published in the pulps during this era.
Inspired by the legacy of the pulp authors, Dreaded Pall – Chilling Stories of Heart Pounding Horror has gathered together a gruesome collection of contemporary authors to deliver a pulp-style homage to the American grandfather of horror – Edgar Allan Poe.

"One author I might not like but I am getting the book anyway " I am curious what DAve pulled off as an editor but I will say he's got an overall talented line up with this anthology. Speaking as a fourth time anthology editor here I am curious to see what he does as an editor, he's a good writer.
