That is some seriously gorgeous artwork... and a REALLY grisly story.

The original story is even grislier. You should read it if you haven't.

I missed the tag on the title, so I was going "wow, someone was huffing Poe" all the way through. But in fact it was the pure quill.

Not quite! They sanitized the worst of it. I remembered this one, because it was so horrible.

This is really excellent. Sooo very creepy. The image of a going-crazy guy heading out in the snow to a graveyard carrying a big shovel and a small, special box is really... something. Creepy.

Does anyone else find it interesting that Berenice is shown fencing in that second panel? That strikes me as somewhat unusual for a woman of Poe's period - they were generally supposed to be dainty beauties who got their exercise primarily by walking through parks and dropping handkerchiefs for gentlemen in straw hats to pick up, with the occasional bout of fainting - an athletic woman in the Victorian period was an unusual creature indeed. An artist's interpretation, think you, or was there something about it in the story?
(And yes, this is gloomy, screwed-up stuff - but it's POE; of course it is. The man made H.P Lovecraft look like Groucho Marx in comparison.)
