Dark Graphic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe goes down in history as the inventor of the detective story and the master of the macabre. Playwright and theater director Denise Despeyroux and illustrator Miquel Serratosa take you on a dark, mysterious journey through three of Poe's short stories: embark on a treasure hunt in "The Gold Bug;" visit an insane asylum in "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether;" and face psychological terror in "The Fall of the House of Usher."

* Reviews *

The three volumes in the Dark Graphic Novels series masterfully illustrate many of the most chilling horror stories of classic literature, adapting the texts using simplified language and captivating pictorial design. Each book has a unique artistic style, but the series still offers a cohesive collection featuring the tales of Edgar Men Poe, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and a compilation of short stories by famed horror writers in Chilling Tales of Horror by Pedro Rodriguez.
