Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe
Description
Spiral into a dimly lit world, down streets lined with madmen and their black deeds, through the cold twists of the catacombs, and into rooms where secrets dwell. From the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe, these three tales, 'The Black Cat,' 'The Fall of the House of Usher,' and 'The Cask of Amontillado,' speak to the hidden places inside us all.
Capturing the mist and shadows rising from the stories are illustrations by prominent artist Gary Kelley. Angular and dark, his work heightens the Gothic terror that is Poe's trademark and creates windows into Poe's world.
Hardback.
