(4) YA Whole Story series. Illustrated by Jame's Prunier. "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" are among the other six stories in this collection, which is profusely illustrated with atmospheric artwork. Vying for space in the margins are supplemental facts, biographic details, and archival photos. Although this informational approach may enhance the text for students, the intense stories require focus and sustained immersion to be completely effective.
