Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere.

The Raven

The Raven: Tales and PoemsÂ is a landmark new anthology of Poeâ€™s work, which defied convention, shocked readers, and confounded critics. This selection of Poeâ€™s writings demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. â€œThe Fall of the House of Usherâ€ describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In â€œThe Tell Tale Heart,â€ a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as â€œThe Pit and the Pendulumâ€ and â€œThe Cask of Amontilladoâ€ explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate. The title narrative poem, maybe Poeâ€™s most famous work, follows a manâ€™s terrifying descent into madness after the loss of a lover.
