I bought this for my daughter who is a Poe enthusiast. She was delighted, and set off reading it as soon as I handed it over!Noting the age thingy underneath, my daughter is 35!

Bought as a present. Arrived in perfect condition

Great book for the collection and a good read especially by Poe.

Illustrations are poor. Reminds me of illustrations for children's books; poor choice of style for an Allan Poe anthology!

I bought this for myself, as I've always like Poe's more macabre work. Well illustrated and not too graphic for those of a more sensitive disposition. Brings some of his better known stories to life.

Start with the poems.The Raven, Anabel Lee, and The Bells are offered here with rich illustrations that add to the exceptional rhythms. These are read-aloud poems of the finest kind.The stories are amazingly illustrated. The format requires shortening, since the stories are repetitive to enhance their horror and suspense. The best of these is The Cask of Amontillado, then the Pit and the Pendulum. The Tell-Tale Heart and Masque of the Red Death are almost too short - the horror doesn't have time to build.Gareth Binds uses symbols to tie the illustrations and stories together thematically. This is exceptionally well done and will keep you returning to the book.My family of boys has loved Gareth Hinds' work in the Odysseus, Romeo and Juliet, the Merchant of Venice, and Beowulf. This book is another excellent adaptation by Hinds. This is why we need a sixth star.

Le livre est très beau, je collectionne ce qui concerne Edgar Poe. Dommage que l'emballage ait été insuffisant et qu'il soit arrivé abîmé !

If you have any interest in Poe or are a fan of Gareth Hines, this book is for you. Hinds selected well, seven tales and poems that highlight Poe's career, from the obscure to the famous. The illustrations are superb and the choices made in condensing the longer stories are all spot on. I particularly enjoyed the artist's interpretation of a man isolated in total darkness in "The Pit and the Pendulum." As an older reader who is a fan of graphic novels, I found the footnotes informative without being pedantic. Perfect for all ages, this would make a great gift for a fan of the macabre or a wonderful launching pad for future Poe aficionados. Very much worth your time.

All of my favourite stories in one with killer illustrations to boot. Love it. Also, It shipped faster than I had expected, which was a definite bonus.
