Abstract
Poe's psychological "tales of ratiocination" create the daring illusion that death can be "figured out." This discussion analyzes selected motifs of villainy and murder in a few of Poe's works and notes how his techniques for generating suspense continue to affect the portrayal of death in today's popular culture.
