Dark Graphic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe

(3) 4-6 Dark Graphic Novels series. Illustrated by Miquel Serratosa. Durable, chilling, and in graphic-novel format--what more could librarians want out of a horror series? Purists should be warned that significant liberties are taken with the classics to make them quick, accessible reads, although the detailed illustrations (particularly the stunning, woodcut-inspired sketches in Frankenstein) help round out the stories and retain their original emotional impacts. Reading list, websites. Review covers these Dark Graphic Novels titles: Dark Graphic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
