What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

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 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, 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 Grimly’s gruesomely delectable illustrations that adorn every page. So prepare yourself. And keep the lights on
