Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness by Edgar Allan Poe
4.0
This contains four of Poe’s short stories: The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, Hop-Frog, and The Fall of the House of Usher. The Masque of the Red Death has long been a favorite of mine, but Hop-Frog was horrifying. I’d never read it before today. I loved every gruesome minute of it! 😱
What makes this collection special are the illustrations by Gris Grimly. They are wonderfully creepy, and capture the madness of Poe’s prose perfectly. I own one other Gris Grimly illustrated collection of Poe’s short stories. I hope there are more collections available, because I NEED them. 4.5 stars.
