This beautiful slipcased edition is illustrated by art nouveau artist Harry Clarke, whose striking and fantastical illustrations perfectly capture the spirit of Poe's uncanny tales. These eye-catching, full-page images accompany every story, with additional vignettes throughout the book.ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Slipcased Classics are beautiful foil-stamped gift editions of classic works of literature, presented in a slipcase and decorated with delightful illustrations.
