Poe: Stories and Poems: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by Gareth Hinds

by Gareth Hinds

Gareth Hinds (Illustrator)

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.

Original de: El Blog del Gato - El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Las ilustraciones de Gareth Hinds son bastante buenas, les dan vida y emoción extra a las historias, tanto así que algunas se me hicieron difícil de leer porque me generaban ansiedad, o sea, The Pit and the Pendulum fue demasiado para mí.

Pero tengo que aceptar que Edgar Allan Poe no fue hecho para alguien como yo
