In a thrilling adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known works, acclaimed artist-adapter Gareth Hinds translates Poe’s dark genius into graphic-novel format.

It is true that I am nervous. But why will you say that I am mad?

In “The Cask of Amontillado,” a man exacts revenge on a disloyal friend at carnival, luring him into catacombs below the city. 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.

Read all of award-winning Gareth Hinds’s stunning graphic novel adaptations!
More than three thousand years ago, two armies faced each other in an epic battle that rewrote history and came to be known as the Trojan War. Renowned illustrator Gareth Hinds masterfully adapts Homer’s classic wartime epic. Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. A New York Times bestseller! When Romeo and Juliet first meet, they don’t know they’re from rival families — and when they find out, they don’t care. How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together?

The seven graphic narratives amplify and honor the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror. Ideal for spooky fans!
