Review Tales of Mystery and Imagination/Stage 4 (Longman Classics) / Longman Trade/Caroline House:Spiral down dimly lit streets liined with madmen and their black deeds, through cold twists of catacombs, and across a sea that strikes with tight, angry fists. From the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe, three tales-"The Cask of Amontillado, " "The Black Cat, " and "The Fall of the House of Usher"-speak to the hidden places within us all. 20 full-color illustrations. Award-winning fantasy illustrator Gary Kelley writes, "I have selected three of Edgar Allan Poe's best short stories. I chose 'The Fall of the House of Usher' for its classic Gothic images and its dark, melancholic central characters, including the house itself. 'The Black Cat' is. [+]appealing to me for its use of mystery and foreboding that takes us to a horrifying climax. 'The Cask of Amontillado'. my personal favorite, [is] a simple narrative of revenge set in the contrasting worlds of carnival and catacomb. " Click on the book's cover for a closer look, but the reproduction doesn't really do justice to the richness of color in Kelley's shadowy, atmospheric paintings. (The cat's eye is green, and its tongue is pink. ) This gorgeous edition has 20 full- and double-page paintings, including a melancholy portrait of Poe; each page of text is surrounded by subtle decorative frames. The images of Roderick and Madeleine Usher are especially effective.
