Graphic novelist Hinds tackles the work of Edgar Allan Poe, adapting three poems and four stories. Each entry's title page lists pertinent themes and tropes. Hinds's adaptations lean heavily on the original language with an eye toward accessibility. Varied illustrations are a good match for Poe's atmospheric blend of horror and mystery, and color and striking imagery are used to great effect.
