You are about to enter a world where you will be shocked, terrified, and, though you'll 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,andThe 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 Grimly's gruesomely delectable illustrations that adorn every page. So prepare yourself. And keep the lights on., 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....

  • Great for the illustrations

    To be fair, I haven't read it. I bought it for Halloween crafting and the illustrations. So, as far as that goes, it's perfect.
