"Bon-Bon", is a banterous, satirical tale synonymous of Poe's talents. It follows a famed chef and self-styled philosopher Pierre Bon-Bon, on a snowy winters night of solitary drinking, abruptly disturbed by the embodiment of evil itself, the Devil. A surprisingly pleasant house guest, Pierre invites the devil to a night of indulgent drinking in an attempt to extract some potent ethical statements he can publish as his own. This story is characterised by sharp satirical jabs at classical philosophers, genuinely witty exchanges and a healthy dose of euphemism, made all the more impactful by the absurdity of this chance encounter. This tale will leave readers with something to chew on.-

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is one of the most significant and singular writers in the history of American letters. He was a poet, a pioneer of science fiction, the father of the detective story, and a master of the macabre whom Nobel-prize winner Toni Morrison identified as a key to America's conflicted literary conscience. He died mysteriously in Baltimore at the age of forty, leaving behind a body of work that has influenced writers and artists such as Stéphane Mallarmé, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Franz Kafka, Paul Klee, H. P. Lovecraft, Jorge Luis Borges, Stephen King, Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, and every crime writer to this day.
