Tales of Mystery and Imagination

by Roland John (Adapted By), Edgar Allan Poe, Michael West

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.

I still adore those first (novels) or (stories) i read in my childhood. They will always be my favorites regardless of their concepts or way of writing !

It’s a pretty cool book for October. It’s really got some spooky vibes.

Good collection. It's a pity they changed and removed so much. Because of that I think it's not really representative of Poe's writing style.
