{"product_id":"9781806182169","title":"Edgar Allan Poe: A Tale of Mystery and Intervention","description":"\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;From Aurora Award–winning creator Norm Konyu comes a graphic novel that dares to make the Master of the Macabre smile.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;A darkly playful walk through the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, where humour, dread, and beauty collide this Halloween.\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;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.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;This graphic novel delights with wondrous art, each sumptuous double-page spread reinterprets a classic Poe tale (\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, \u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;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.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;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.","brand":"Konyu, Norm","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":68263359971540,"sku":"9781806182169","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c28d392f-09b6-4675-bb51-58e023211b81.jpg?v=1793640892","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781806182169","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
