FBRC REVIEW :
This is another one of the Classic that I have yet to read in its original format. I have been wanting to but was intimidated by the prospect of it, so I put it off. Here I am reading the Manga version of it before the original work because I am thinking it will be easier to read and if I like it then I might pick the book later on. This book definitely has the creepy, horror and macabre vibes spot on. I liked the short stories individually and I have some favorites from it as well. The chances of me reading the original book is definitely a priority as with the other classics I need to get to.
The stories were dark, creepy, terror-inducing and had the gothic setting making the readers feel eerie and creeped out at the same time. I feel the need to check out the colored version as I am only getting the arcs that are black and white. I believe the effect of the colored ones would be even more amazing. I enjoyed the stories and the way it's written to bring forward feelings in the reader is fascinating. The stories were very well done with the pictures and scenes helping us follow the story. The gothic aspect and the dark, eery vibe stays and has a bigger presence in the stories.
My favorite of these would be The tell-tale heart, The Raven and The Masque of red death. I loved the other two as well. The stories are going to be staying in my mind for a long time and I am sure the madness, the frenzy and paranoia of these characters with the imagery is a great way of giving a lasting impression to the readers. I absolutely loved the haunting, sometimes, supernatural aspect to the stories. I adore the trivia gems that part of this brilliant book and it is always one of the things I look forward to in these editions. I am giving this book 4.5 stars as well with the chances of getting it bumped to 5 stars after I read the original. I highly recommend checking the classic edition of Manga if you are a fan of the manga format and have a love for the classics stories. Definitely check them out.
The full review will be on my blog.
