![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a poem that has almost a musical quality to it, and which artwork compliments perfectly. The Raven is possibly Poe’s best known work, and is a poem about a man descending into madness at the loss of his lover. The story is both beautiful and disturbing, as is the artwork that accompanies it. There’s a lot of play of words going on in this story (for example the two characters in the story have vastly different ideas of what a mason is). The Cask of Amontillado is probably my favorite of Poe’s works, and is about a man driven by the concept of getting revenge on a man who has slighted him. The face of the man shows his emotions (and lack of sanity) in such a way that it brings the story to a whole new level. This story is truly creepy and eerie and is really enhanced by the imagery accompanying it. The Tell-Tale Heart is the story of a man going mad and murdering an older gentleman he lives with. This book is releasing at the perfect time of year, being out and available on the shelves by Halloween. ![]() Five of his most famous works are included in this novel, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, and the Fall of the House of Usher. I received an advanced copy of Manga Classics: The Stories of Edgar Allen Poe from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.Įdgar Allen Poe’s stories have been transformed into almost every media possible, so it should come as no surprise that he’s finally made his way into manga form. ![]()
