Drunk and alone, the acclaimed author of The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Masque of the Red Death is reduced to introducing horror stories in a comic book. Four irreverent Poe adaptations! The simian-inflected "Murders in the Rue Morgue," the bibulous "Some Words With a Mummy," another brutal episode of "The Black Cat," and part one of "The Duc de L'Omelette!" EXTRA: Bonus illustrated prose stories!
