Gris Grimley's Poe-Illustrated Book Launch

We here at Dread Central love Gris Grimly and his beautifully macabre contributions to the horror genre. And while I don't speak for everyone at Dread Central when it comes to the brilliant works of Edgar Allan Poe, how can you not agree that his rich and atmospheric poetry is perfectly matched alongside Grimly's twisted mind?

If you're in the Burbank, CA area this Sunday, head on over to the Dark Delicacies book store at 2pm to meet Grimly for a book signing. His new book, Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Death and Dementia features four fully illustrated Poe favorites: The Tell-Tale Heart, The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether, The Oblong Box, and The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar.

Expect Grimly's book to be brimming with eye-popping visuals that will entice any horror fan to give it a try.

Limited edition silk-screened posters (limited to 50) and the new line of Gris Grimly’s Poe t-shirts will be available for purchase. There will be a gallery display of prints and original art for sale. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab will be releasing four new scented oils based on the four stories in the book. When you purchase the book, one t-shirt or print, and one oil, you will get a limited Poe scent. Items are on a first-come/first-served basis.
