In \"The Masque of the Red Death,\" a prince shielding himself from plague hosts a doomed party inside his abbey stronghold. A prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, faced with a swinging blade and swarming rats, can't see his tormentors in \"The Pit and the Pendulum,\" and in \"The Tell-Tale Heart,\" a milky eye and a deafening heartbeat reveal the effects of conscience and creeping madness. Alongside these tales are visual interpretations of three poems -- \"The Raven,\" \"The Bells,\" and Poe's poignant elegy to lost love, \"Annabel Lee.\" The seven concise graphic narratives, keyed to thematic icons, amplify and honor the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGareth Hinds \u003c\/b\u003eis the acclaimed creator of the graphic novels \u003ci\u003eMacbeth, The Odyssey, Beowulf, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eKing Lear.\u003c\/i\u003e Gareth Hinds lives near Washington, D.C.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Candlewick Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50578761744658,"sku":"9780763695095","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f5138b3e-e9bb-4943-a039-23d818f46a6c.jpg?v=1772013082","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/poe-stories-and-poems-a-graphic-novel-illustrated-by-gareth-hinds-9780763695095","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
