Bookroo's summary

Step into a realm of terror with four haunting tales. A cat drives a man to madness, a plague stalks a masquerade, a dwarf plots revenge, and a sister's spirit calls from beyond. Each story, from 'The Black Cat' to 'The Fall of the House of Usher,' promises to shock and thrill. Gris Grimly's eerie illustrations bring Edgar Allan Poe's macabre visions to life. Dare to read with the lights on.

From the publisher

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
