About this ebook

This book contains Edgar Allen Poe’s 1844 short story, "Thou Art the Man”. One of Poe’s early attempts at detective fiction, the story revolves around the murder of the wealthy Barnabas Shuttleworthy and the accusation of his nephew and heir. An absent corpse, a mysterious shipment of wine, and a cunning plot by the shady narrator align to exonerate the innocent and illuminate the guilty. "Thou Art the Man” is highly recommended for lovers of detective fiction, and constitutes a must-read for fans of Poe’s macabre work. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing "Thou Art the Man” now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
