Quarter bound in orange cloth with gilt on spine, full page b & w frontis by Arthur Rackham, former owners name on inside front partly hidden by front flap, dust jacket is in NF condition. "The tales and themes of Edgar Allan Poe have haunted the cinema from its beginnings. The black cat has meant death and revenge from Ancient Egypt to Bela Lugosi. Premature burial horrified Romeo as much as Christopher Lee. This book tells, with all the tension of the time-honored theme, the many themes that the cinema has taken from Poe's 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination'. Included are those Roger Corman films starring Vincent Price: 'The Fall of the House of Usher', 'The Raven', and 'The Masque of the Red Death'. No lover of the fantastic and the bizarre can afford lto miss this lavishly illustrated and fascinating book." Contents include: Quoth the Raven, Evermore / Rest not in Peace / Omen of Death / The Beat and the Blade / The Conqueror Worm / The Track of the Beast / The Haunted Palace / Himself the Undead.
