"O Corvo" é sem dúvida um dos contos mais famosos e perturbadores de Edgar Allan Poe. A história começa em uma noite sombria e tempestuosa, quando um homem solitário, mergulhado em tristeza e saudade, é visitado por um corvo misterioso.

Essa repetição atormenta ainda mais o homem, evocando sua tristeza e despertando suas piores emoções. Este livro conta ainda com outros dois poemas consagrados de Poe: "Annabel Lee" e "Ulalume".
