Poe Stories & Poems A Graphic Novel

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'.
