Edgar Allan Poe dejó un legado literario que se convertiría en un punto de referencia constante para todas las artes y que aflora en autores tan variados como Baudelaire, Dostoievski, Cortázar o Stephen King. Autores de la talla de Matisse, Manet y Gauguin pintaron obras en las que plasmaban el rostro de Poe o imágenes de sus relatos, y el cine sigue rindiéndole homenaje año tras año. Su prosa es hoy un modelo clásico estudiado por todo aspirante a escritor de narrativa breve, y la huella de Poe en la literatura detectivesca y de terror es incuestionable. Este volumen incluye dieciséis de sus mejores relatos; títulos como «La caída de la Casa Usher», «Los crímenes de la calle Morgue» o «La carta robada» son considerados piezas maestras de la literatura universal.

Seven tickets. An island of dreams. The chance of a lifetime. Welcome to the Grandest Game, an annual competition run by billionaire Avery Grambs and the four infamous Hawthorne brothers, whose family fortune she inherited. Designed to give anyone a shot at fame and fortune, this year’s game requires one of seven golden tickets to enter. With millions on the line, those seven players will do whatever it takes to win.

Amidst it all is Grayson Hawthorne, tasked with a vital role in this year’s game. But as tensions rise and the mind-bending challenges push the players to their limits—physically, mentally, and emotionally—it soon becomes clear that not everyone is playing by the rules.
