Poe’s Tales of Mystery & Imagination

Edgar Allan Poe / illustrated by Arthur Rackham

Weathervane Books - no date (c. 1976)

Originally published in 1935, this reissue from Weathervane is very well done. With some lovely details and clear image reproductions, this book highlights the ideal combination of Poe’s words and Rackham’s gorgeous illustrations. Some of Poe’s greatest stories—The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Premature Burial, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Masque of the Red Death, and more—are vividly brought to life by Rackham’s equally mysterious and beguiling illustrations.

all that I seem, is a shadow of a shadow of a dream within a dream

made using my watercolor-pencil crayon technique but in digital. it actually produces a similar effect with less hassle but worse control over the watercolors, very interesting... very interesting indeed

also this musical has some very nice 80s

The Alan Parons Project -- The Cask of Amontillado

You who are rich, and whose troubles are few

May come around to see my point of view

What price the crown of a king on his throne

When you're chained in the dark all alone?

"The death of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world," wrote Edgar Allan Poe

According to Poe the most melancholic and poetic event that could happen in life was the death of an ethereal, unnaturally beautiful woman who did nothing but radiate beauty and have eyes brimming with sorrow being diagnosed with a fatal disease, and becoming emaciated, thus leaving her lover heartbroken.

(As seen in his short stories: Berenice, Eleonora, Ligeia, The Oval Portrait)
