Poe's work featured in this graphic novel are: "The Raven", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Black Cat", "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether"
Mr. Katz's interpretation and illustrations stimulate the reader's imagination and heightens his fear! I did not read this novel in my bed before falling asleep!! Artistically (both the art and Poe's writing) it is superb. I am not highly recommending it because of the themes/horror.
Warnings/considerations: horror, evil characters, drinking, drugs, murder, depravity encouraged (in "The Masque of the Red Death"- rooms are designated for different types of depravity. One room is for carnal variety & shows couples making out(fully-clothed) on top of each other and one person in the other person's lap with legs wrapped around waist)
-Borrowed from the library.
