Tales of mystery and imagination

First published in 1919, Tales of Mystery and Imagination matched Edgar Allan Poe`s best tales of horror and suspense with the expressive artwork of Harry Clarke. This beautifully designed volume reproduces more than thirty full-colour and black-and-white illustrations that give substance to the terrifying imagery of `The Tell-Tale Heart`, `The Fall of the House of Usher`, `The Masque of the Red Death`, `The Pit and the Pendulum`, and twenty-five other masterpieces of the macabre. As Neil Gaiman writes in his introduction, `Clarke`s art perfectly captures the perversity, madness, and delight in horror that were the hallmarks of Poe`s dark genius`.
