Edgar Allan Poes Tales of Mystery
and Madness by Gris Grimly
You've Never Seen Poe Like This...
A sweet little cat drives a man to insanity and murder.... The grim death
known as the plague roams a masquerade ball dressed in red.... A
dwarf seeks his final revenge on his captors.... A sister calls to her
beloved twin from beyond the grave.... Prepare yourself. You are about
to enter a world where you will be shocked, terrified, and, though youll be
too scared to admit it at first, secretly thrilled. Here are four tales -- The
Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, Hop-Frog, and The Fall of the
House of Usher -- by the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. The
original tales have been ever so slightly dismembered -- but, of course,
Poe understood dismemberment very well. And he would shriek in
ghoulish delight at Gris Grimlys gruesomely delectable illustrations that
adorn every page. So prepare yourself. And keep the lights on.
Personal Review: Edgar Allan Poes Tales of Mystery and
Madness by Gris Grimly
This is a must have for any Poe fan!
You may already own the stories here, but it's worth it for the art alone.
The classic stories combined with Gris Girmly's artwork are truly amazing.
There was one particular image I recall from reading The Fall of the House
of Usher that was such a loving tribute to Vincent Price it really moved me.
In fact, I ended up writing Mr Grimly an email to tell him how much I
appreciated his work and to ask about the possibilty of a companion book
which he hinted was in the works. You can tell he is also a fan of the
material.
