Poe's horror tales

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread

I have an assigment I am trying to do for an English class and the question is "What is the correct name for Edgar Allan Poe's collection of horror tales?" I think it's Tales of Terror and something-or-other, but I'm not certain. Help. Please.

Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque(1840) Phantasy Tales(1842) Tales(1845)

These are Poe's collections of all his stories. "Tales of the Folio Club" was to be his first collection(1832-1836) but the tales were printed separately. Tales of the Grotesque would be mostly the Gothic tales. Of course, Poe's works have been reedited under many different titles and divisions over the years.
