Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Terror Five Graphic Novels: The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, The Masque of the Red Death and The Fall of the House of Usher

Five of Poe's darkest tales. Five ways to be afraid.

A murderer who swears he is not mad, haunted by a heartbeat beneath the floor. A lawman in a North Indian haveli, undone by a one-eyed black cat. A masked nobleman leading his drunken friend down into the catacombs, toward a cask of wine that does not exist. A prince who seals himself and a thousand guests inside his abbey while a plague rages outside. And a crumbling house over a black tarn, where something buried in the vault refuses to stay buried.

This collection gathers all five Poe Graphic Novels in one volume, each told in its own visual style: expressionist ink, oil-dark realism, Venetian watercolor and gold, stained glass and an Expressionist woodcut. The narration is retold in clear modern English, with Poe's most famous lines kept word for word.
