(4) YA Illustrated by Gris Grimly. Grimly (Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness) abridges and illustrates four more chilling Poe tales in this volume, leading with "The Tell-Tale Heart." Dynamic page design propels each story while contextualizing the sometimes challenging language. By the end, though, it feels like an awful lot of sameness; each tale may have been better served by an individual adaptation.
