Phantom of the Rue Morgue
Mad passions, madder deeds in the Edgar Allan Poe chiller!
A Gothic murder mystery set in Paris that blends detective procedural with supernatural horror, building paranoia and dread as the killer proves inhuman.
When several women are found mutilated and murdered, the Paris police are baffled as to who the killer may be. All evidence points to Dupin, but soon it becomes apparent that it is someone (or something) stronger and deadlier than a human.
