“Villains!“
I love Gris Grimly's illustrations and Poe's stories, so this series of books is, naturally, my favorite!

“The car followed me down the steep stairs, and, nearly throwing me headlong, exasperated me to madness.”
Whenever someone says black cat, I think of this story. Grimly and Poe are the perfect combo! 😼

10 books completed for #Screamathon! This isn‘t everything I read this month, which is exciting, but they‘re the books that count for Halloween scary/thriller/supernatural reads. This is the first year I‘ve intentionally done seasonal reads outside of December and had a ton of fun. Thanks @4thhouseontheleft for setting this up!! The top row has my favorites and I really enjoyed the Lore books on audio.
pickThis collection contains The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, Hop-Frog, and The Fall of the House of Usher. I‘ve long considered Masque one of my favorite short stories (and I typically detest short stories), but Hop-Frog may now take the top spot. It was deliciously gruesome. Gris Grimly‘s illustrations are sheer perfection. 4.5 stars for this wonderful Halloween read. #screamathon #spooktober
This collection contains what is probably my favorite of Poe‘s short stories and the illustrations are incredible! I won‘t spam your feeds with oodles of pictures, but seriously...if you are a fan of Poe‘s work, grab these editions illustrated by Gris Grimly. Fabulously creepy! #screamathon
pickEven though my fur baby looks less enthused, this is a great book of 4 Poe stories with cool illustrations. (The Black Cat, The Masque if the Red Death, Hop-Frog, and The Fall of the House of Usher)
So i was going to share my bookish thrift haul from today, but im so excited about this book that i felt it needed its own post!
I can't think of anything more #macabre than a classic Poe story, and the illustrations in this book are delightfully gruesome and perfect. Actually picked this up when I visited his house in Baltimore last summer!

pickHow was my first foray into Poe? Amazing!! I love this book. Poe is morbidly amazing, the illustrations are spot on and the cat is just perfectly creepy. Seriously.
As it turns out, my new obsession is fitting; today is the 167th anniversary of Poe's death. #rippoe

pickThis illustrated version of four Edgar Allan Poe tales is the perfect read for this Halloween season. Gris Grimly does a fantastic attic job bringing them to life. This book introduced me to Poe and I definitely recommend it to those who are fans of Tim Burton and Neil Gaimen
As my only experience with Poe is "The Raven" (via #GilmoreGirls), this seemed like the perfect intro for #scaretober. Thanks @elkeo for the recommendation! #blameitonlitsy #libraryhaul #scarybooks #frightfest
Am I right? These illustrations make Poe's stories jump right off the page and into your nightmares.

Bought this book at Poe's house/museum in Baltimore because the illustrations are amazing and perfect. Plus who doesn't need yet another Poe book? 😋
My #FunFridayPhoto pick is this old collection of Poe's short stories. I fell in love with Poe after my 6th grade teacher read a couple stories on Halloween. I immediately gushed to my dad, a high school teacher, about Poe's stories. He pulled this book off his classroom shelf and gave it to me. I felt so grown up! It looked like the books at my grandparents' house. I love Poe's work. This was the first of many editions I added to my shelves.
