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.

Excerpt from Stories and PoemsWho is there in the world that is not interested in children, and especially in little girls? I always think that there is something wrong with a person if he does not love little girls. My thoughts and words now, however, are about a little girl named Nellie Smith, whom four years since I met in Winter ville, Ga., who is now twelve years old, and yet old enough to write a beautiful story, in which one char acter is represented as a noble, generous rich man. The story is moral and helpful. Surely the author of said story is a beautiful little character, and not only is a good writer of prose but also poetry, and I commend her and her writings to all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
