Good and Scary! Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness illustrated by Gus Grimly

Gus Grimly's sly and engagingly grotesque drawings provide the perfect introduction to younger readers to the famously macabre tales of Edgar Allan Poe.

Four of Poe's good and scary short stories--"The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," "Hop-Frog," and "Fall of the House of Usher"--are marginally abridged without significantly altering Poe's original descriptive language. Meanwhile, Gus Grimly's spot art and full-page illustrations are evocative in the mood, if not style, of Charles Addams and elaborate the text to make it accessible to elementary and middle school readers.

For good, spooky fun at Halloween and on any dark and stormy night, Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness is a small book which carries a lot of punch!
