Description
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, canβt 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 β The Raven, The Bells, and Poeβs poignant elegy to lost love, Annabel Lee.
The seven concise graphic narratives, keyed to thematic icons, amplify and honour the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
