Description

‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’ is a literary masterpiece, combining the greatest virtues of legendary American author Edgar Allan Poe in its wondrous tale. It is a fascinating story whose main character, investigator Auguste Dupin, is the precursor to all detective stories and novels, but it is Poe’s unspeakable horror, bordering on the supernatural, which gives it that extra spice. For the first time ever, it has taken on a new guise, inspired by the Iron Maiden song of the same name. For Maiden fans and all those who are still to become fans, this book is a special treat – the role of Inspector Dupin in the illustrations has fallen to Iron Maiden’s legendary mascot Eddie. Not only that, author Stjepan Juras brings you the story of the inception of Poe’s work and the Maiden song, together with a critique and side-by-side analysis. The book also features brief biographies, where you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know about Poe and Iron Maiden. This book contains a large number of fantastic photographs, documents, memorabilia and everything else that will make this journey into the past very exciting.
