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

Edgar Allen Poe’s poems and stories are appreciated for their strange darkness and quiet melancholy. In Poe (Candlewick, $22) Gareth Hinds uses the graphic novel format to vivify the eerie images evoked by Poe’s chilling, lyrical prose. The result is a rich and poetic visual accompaniment to Poe’s best-known work, including “The Pit and the Pendulum,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Raven.” Both long-time admirers and new fans of Poe and will appreciate Hinds’s signature watercolor-and-ink illustrations of these classics. Ages 13 and up.
