Edgar Allan Poe is known for his rather macabre and grim tales, and quite easily associated to Halloween. Yes, it's that time of the year! Edgar Allan Poe died in a mysterious way when he was about forty and clearly claims , not just the status as one of the most famed classic writers, but of the number one Gothic Romantic Literature. Horror stories!? His the man, but the cool thing is having a look at Harry Clarke's illustrations of Poe's work. Although he worked with stained glass, I think his best work are in his classic fairy tale illustrations.
