Overview

From Aurora Award-winning creator Norm Konyu comes a graphic novel that dares to make the Master of the Macabre smile.

A darkly playful walk through the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, where humour, dread, and beauty collide this Halloween.

When theatrical producer Thomas Evans meets his old friend Edgar Allan Poe in a gloomy tavern, he has a mission: to pull Poe back from the abyss, if only for one evening. As skulls crowd the table and death-haunted ideas spill forth, Thomas counters Poe's macabre obsessions with verse, wit, and impossible hope... urging him to imagine a life beyond despair.

This graphic novel delights with wondrous art, each sumptuous double-page spread reinterprets a classic Poe tale (The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, and more) twisting familiar symbols into something both reverent and slyly subversive. The result is a work steeped in dread and humour, rich with atmosphere, shivers, and visual invention.

The book concludes with an insightful postscript in which Aurora-Award winner Norm Konyu unpacks each literary reference and reflects on Poe's lasting influence on his own work and modern horror. Perfect for Halloween and beyond, Edgar Allan Poe is a love letter to the weird, the macabre, and the stories that refuse to let us go.
