Poe: Stories and Poems: A Graphic Novel; Illustrated by Gareth Hinds

In a thrilling adaptation of Edgar Allan Poeâ€™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 â€œThe Cask of Amontillado,â€ a man exacts revenge on a disloyal friend at carnival, luring him into catacombs below the city. In â€œThe Masque of the Red Death,â€ 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, canâ€™t see his tormentors in â€œThe Pit and the Pendulum,â€ and in â€œThe Tell-Tale Heart,â€ a milky eye and a deafening heartbeat reveal the effects of conscience and creeping madness. Alongside these tales are visual interpretations of three poems â€” â€œThe Raven,â€ â€œThe Bells,â€ and Poeâ€™s poignant elegy to lost love, â€œAnnabel Lee.â€ The seven concise graphic narratives, keyed to thematic icons, amplify and honor the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror.
