Description
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.
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.
