Illustrated by
Gris Grimly.
"The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," "Hop-Frog," and "The Fall of the House of Usher" are lavishly illustrated in horror-comics style. There's great stylistic variety in Grimly's macabre work--which includes full-page tableaux, framed panels, and spot art--but Poe purists will not be happy that their boy's stories have all been abridged.
