Poe Visualized by Harry Clarke

From the 1919 deluxe edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Harry Clarke reached deep into those dark, flinching corners underneath the bed and ripped out the grotesque horrors that lurked within, creating these macabre illustrations that accompanied Poe’s disturbing classics like “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the “The Telltale Heart” perfectly. In the same vein as Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark monstrosities decades later, these illustrations are sufficient evidence that while some stories can be even more frightening when left to your imagination, it takes a truly visceral artist to give those shadows form and really scare the bejeezus out of you.

“Based in Italy, Nicola Samorì creates darkly haunted portraits featuring characters that appear to belong to another century. The visceral oil paintings resonates with the ‘Neo-Baroque’ movement, which incorporates the intense and realistic style of the Baroque period within a modern, psychological context. While the figures echo historical reference points, their faces are often obscured beneath masks of chaotic, fluid paint application, suggesting a deeper exploration of identity.”
