Taking advantage of some more Kindle Unlimited books.

I haven’t read the original telling of this story so I wasn’t sure what to expect, however, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was very easy to understand, they’ve done a good job of making the language more accessible and I like the art style.

The story was atmospheric, claustrophobic, and actually quite unsettling. I am sure you lose some of the depth by transferring the story to graphic format but as someone who hasn’t read the original, I couldn’t say for certain. This has made me want to read the original text but I would love to see more stories adapted in this way.


I love this series. I've read all four books and enjoy each one. The trimmed-down dialogue captures the key points of the originals, and the artwork really enhances the story (as a good graphic novel should). These are targetted at younger Poe readers (teenagers, not 5-year-olds), but older Poe fans can appreciate these too.
