The Tell-Tale Heart by Benjamin Harper

4.0


An interesting visualization of the classic short story. The heavy use of cool coloration (blues to blacks) establishes an eerie and sufficiently chilling atmosphere for conveying madness--and a conscience that refuses to go quietly into the night.

The use of an isolating beam of light over the main character at certain points left the distinct feel of an interrogation, though no one but the highly unreliable narrator is conducting any sort of examination. The book has the added benefit of asking questions at the end that directly relate to the chosen artistic depictions.

I could see this graphic novel as a strong tactical resource in breaking down Poe's work for teenagers.
