【愛倫坡精選驚悚必讀: 故事與詩圖像化改編作品】
美國作家、詩人埃德加·愛倫·坡，以懸疑及驚悚小說最負盛名，更是美國的短篇小說先鋒之一。
本書精選共七篇愛倫坡的短篇故事與詩，並將其改編成圖像化小說:
The Cask of Amontillado
The Masque of the Red Death
The Pit and the Pendulum
The Tell-Tale Heart
The Raven
The Bells
Annabel Lee
以天使與惡魔、令人毛骨悚然的動物、黑暗、監禁、著火、惡疾、死亡、罪惡感、精神錯亂、謀殺、埋葬、聲響或極度敏感的感受等寫作元素，構成讓人愛不釋手卻又不敢看的可怕作品。

插畫家Gareth Hinds除了本書以外也有多部改編經典名著成圖像小說的作品，如馬克白、羅密歐與茱麗葉、奧德賽、伊利亞德、貝武夫...等等，作畫技巧純熟、畫面敘事能力卓越。

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.
