Madness of Love and Death

“Madness of Love and Death” is a chilling anthology of texts and illustrations dedicated to all those in love with the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
Eight of the most famous works of the unparalleled American master of horror are intricately intertwined with illustrations by David G. Fores, immersing the reader and viewer in a world where life and death exist so closely that a mere blink could reduce the body to ashes.
In Poe's stories, an intangible plague follows people closely, the artist bleaches the living bride while drawing her, a raven speaks to a grieving widower, a dwarf and a dancer expose deceitful sages, a heart torn from the chest calls the murderer to repent, a soon-to-be corpse begs for awakening or eternal sleep, and inseparable lovers lie in a sarcophagus to never part.
In his illustrations, Fores attempted to convey the essence of the writer’s work: they are mysterious, beautiful, and incredibly eerie, captivating the eye and sending shivers down the spine. And fear, oh fear, so much fear and love!..
