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 honour the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror.
