Oxford Bookworms Library: Level 2:: The Pit and the Pendulum and Other Stories (Oxford University Press)

Everybody has bad dreams. Horrible things move towards you in the dark, things you can hear but not see. Then you wake up, in your own warm bed, and turn over to go back to sleep. But imagine that you wake up on a hard floor, in a darkness blacker than the blackest night.

You listen to the silence, and smell a wet dead smell. Death is all around you, waiting...In these stories aby Edgar Allan Poe, death whispers at you from every dark corner, and fear can send you mad...The Oxford Bookworms Library offers high-quality storytelling and a great reading experience, with a world wide range of classic and modern fiction, non-fiction and plays.

Bookworms include original and adapted texts in seven carefully graded language stages (Starter to Stage 6), which take learners from beginner to advanced level.Key FeaturesAll
