Originally published as three separate comic book issues running from May to July 2006, this collection translates eight of Poe’s poems and two of his tales into comic art form. The adaptations range from the faithful to the far-flung, the most literal translation being Richard Margopoulos and Richard Corben’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.”

- The Avenging Conscience or “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (1914) Director: D.W. Griffith. Preserved by the BFI National Archive. D.W. Griffith’s silent film isn’t coy about its inspirations – its protagonist (Henry B. Walthall) finds a reflection of his besotted feelings for a young woman (Blanche Sweet) in Poe’s poem ‘Annabel Lee’ and later, denied his uncle’s (Spottiswoode Aitken) permission to marry her, draws murderous inspiration from Poe’s short story ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’.
- The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) Director: Jean Epstein. The stark black-and-white photography of this French film, based on Poe’s short story, emphasises the ghostliness of the desolate mansion in which it’s set, a contrast to the ornate richness of Roger Corman’s version released 32 years later.
- The Tell-Tale Heart (1953) Director: Ted Parmelee. This animated story of nighttime murder, carried out under the cover of darkness, is dominated by inky shadows and creeping silhouettes.
- Pit and the Pendulum (1961) Director: Roger Corman. Director Roger Corman reworks Poe’s tale of solitary confinement under the Spanish Inquisition into a riff on ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’, folding in much of its mood and many of its themes – mysterious illnesses, family homes with a malignant atmosphere, hereditary pain, women buried alive.
Although most movies based on books are faithful to the original story, there are bound to be some differences. These differences may be due to poor adaptation, or simply because film is a very different medium from literature. Books made into movies in PDF and ePub:
