Poe - Stories and Poems

In a thrilling adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's best-known works, acclaimed artist-adapter Gareth Hinds translates Poe's dark genius into graphic-novel format.
It is true that I am nervous. But why will you say that I am mad?
In -The Cask of Amontillado, - a man exacts revenge on a disloyal friend at carnival, luring him into catacombs below the city. In -The Masque of the Red Death, - a prince shielding himself from plague hosts a doomed party inside his abbey stronghold. A prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, faced with a swinging blade and swarming rats, can't see his tormentors in -The Pit and the Pendulum, - and in -The Tell-Tale Heart, - a milky eye and a deafening heartbeat reveal the effects of conscience and creeping madness. Alongside these tales are visual interpretations of three poems -- -The Raven, - -The Bells, - and Poe's poignant elegy to lost love, -Annabel Lee.- The seven concise graphic narratives, keyed to thematic icons, amplify and honor the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror.
