William Wilson
by Edgar Allan Poe
William Wilson tells the story of a man who travels the world, is persecuted by his ghost twin, trying to keep him away from sin and evil. This stands out among the stories of Edgar Allen Poe in that it is less gothic, less frightening and less melodramatic than most of his other works. Here you will find a different type of narrative from The Tale of the Heart or The Fall of the House of Usher.
