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. 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.\' Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.
