Edgar Allan Poe's darkest tales, illustrated by the magnificent Kat Menschik: Never have Poe's abysses appeared so alluringly beautiful! A heart that won't stop beating. A vengeful cat with only one eye. A devilish little figure on a bell tower striking the 13th hour and throwing everything into chaos: All these darkly fascinating elements from Poe's stories seem to have been waiting for Kat Menschik to transform them into nightmarishly beautiful images. Three of these grim tales of guilt and doom, once selected and prefaced by Fyodor Dostoevsky, make up the new volume in Kat Menschik's series of illustrated favorite books. Kat Menschik draws with a congenial delight in horror and a keen eye for details that adds a whole new dimension to the stories - a double bottom, so to speak.
