The classic EDGAR ALLAN POE poem 'The Raven' also includes 20 original illustrations by GUSTAVE DORE and a 'Comment on the Poem' by EDMUND C. STEDMAN. 'The Raven' delves into the hidden horrors of the human psyche. Originally published in 1845, the poem is narrated by a melancholy scholar brooding over Lenore, a woman he loved who is now lost to him. One bleak December at midnight, a raven with fiery eyes visits the scholar and perches above his chamber door. Struggling to understand the meaning of the word his winged visitant repeats -- "Nevermore!" -- the narrator descends by stages into madness..."

For over a century, the works of Edgar Allan Poe have sparked the imaginations and sent shivers up the spines of horror-lovers of all ages. While most people know the story or "The Tell-tale Heart" and "The Black Cat" and many can recite "The Raven" from memory, there are many great stories and poems by Poe that remain "forgotten lore." This book collects many of the lesser known tales and poems from the great mind of Edgar Allan Poe and combines them with wonderful illustrations from many of today's up-and-coming illustrators: Jason Keith Phillips, Dan Gorman, Tyler Sowles, Joshua Werner, Diana Busby, Jeff Sornig, Darcey Young, Summer Ketchum, and Aaron Trendy.

Bestselling author of The Mongrel Mage, L. E. Modesitt, Jr's Quantum Shadows blends science fiction, myth, and legend in an adventure that pits old gods and new against one another in a far future world. On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have its own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief. Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power. When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Corvids play an outsize role in the human imagination. We keep ravens in towers, emblazon rooks on banners, find crows in the constellations and make sure to salute solitary magpies. We also see our own behaviour mirrored in this diverse family of birds, who are tricksters and thieves as well as problem-solvers and gift-givers. This beautifully designed book showcases the visual and literary life of the corvid, from Norse legends to Game of Thrones. It includes beautiful and darkly seductive photographs and paintings as well as texts and poems in which they play a starring role and information about the traits that make them so intriguing to us.
