Publisher Marketing: Esta inspirado por el fenomeno del Maelstrom, un remolino que se produce en las costas de Noruega, formado por la conjuncion de las fuertes corrientes que atraviesan el estrecho de Moskenstraumen y la gran amplitud de las mareas. El relato en si se trata de una historia dentro de otra historia, contada desde lo alto de un abismo. Esta narrada por un anciano que afirma no serlo, pese a su apariencia: "No hizo falta mas que un dia para transformar mis cabellos negros en canas, debilitar mis miembros y destrozar mis nervios." El narrador cuenta que un dia se hizo a la mar con dos de sus hermanos, cuando se desato un terrible huracan, que atrapo el barco en su vortice. Los dos hermanos murieron, mientras que el narrador caia al centro del remolino y se quedaba maravillado ante lo que veia. Se arrojo al agua, sujetandose a un barril. Al cabo de un tiempo impreciso, fue izado a la borda de un barco de conocidos suyos que no le reconocieron." Contributor Bio:  Poe, Edgar Allan Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Lenore, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.
