Book Review of In the Shadow of Edgar Allen Poe

In the Shadow of Edgar Allen Poe
reviewed on + 40 more book reviews


A graphic novel from DC's Vertigo imprint, using manipulated photographs for the art - which makes for gorgeous result. The story is a fictionalized version of Poe's life from a "long lost" diary; it's deep, dark, rather disorienting and more than a little perverse (sometimes a bit too much for me). But I am, overall, glad to have read it.
