Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness

Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness
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.

The Dangerous Alphabet

The Dangerous Alphabet

A is for Always, that's where we embark . . .

Two children, treasure map in hand, and their pet gazelle sneak past their father, out of their house, and into a world beneath the city, where monsters and pirates roam.

Will they find the treasure? Will they make it out alive?

Monster Museum

Monster Museum
 
Welcome, brave souls, to the Monster Museum!
 
On your left, see the Zombie do his walk.
Look out for the mummy (she's snapped and come unwrapped).
Frankenstein's grumpy—they gave him a bride, but never a name.
 
Come in, if you dare, and meet all the slimy, screaming, slithery friends and fiends. They're just dying to show you a good time!
 
Gris Grimly's colorful caricatures perfectly complement the playful beat of Marilyn Singer's poems to create a ghastly good Halloween read.

Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Death and Dementia

Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Death and Dementia
Stories of lost love, lost ways . . . and lost minds! Gris Grimly's mysterious, morbid, and macabre illustrations capture four Poe classics with an unmatchable ghoulish charm. This second installment of illustrated Poe tales, a companion to Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness, includes the perennial favorite The Tell Tale Heart, as well as The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether, The Oblong Box, and The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar. With little trimming and lots of gory visuals, these stories have never looked better or more frightening!
