Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Six of Poe’s most macabre tales are presented in this powerfully illustrated edition that comes with an unabridged CD narration of four of the shorter tales. The classic tales included on the 75 minute CD and read by Edward Blake are “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Black Cat,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Cask of Amontillado.” The two longer tales in the collection are the heart-stopping “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the chilling “The Fall of the House of Usher.” In addition to his striking woodcut-type illustrations, Michael McCurdy has written fascinating headnotes about the origin of each tale and an introduction about Poe.

Michael McCurdy provides the grim black and white illustrations to mark Poe's most famous work, presented in dramatic unabridged writings which include a cd reading as well. McCurdy's wood engravings perfectly fit these tales, which will intrigue kids in grades 5-8 with a vivid set of short favorites from the master of horror.
