This macabre tale by Edgar Allan Poe explores the boundaries of life and death, a disturbing vision of science and the supernatural.
"Of course I shall not pretend to consider it any matter for wonder, that the extraordinary case of M. Valdemar has excited discussion. It would have been a miracle had it not—especially under the circumstances. "
