"You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing," Edgar Allan Poe wrote in "The Tell-Tale Heart," and he could have been defending himself; odd he may have been, but Poe was brilliant and disarmingly witty. Selected for their pithy wisdom and clever turns of phrase, the quotations collected here are from such favorites as "The Raven," "The Black Cat," and "The Fall of the House of Usher," as well as lesser-known gems. Taylor Dolan's humorously ghoulish line drawings appear throughout, reminding us of Aubrey Beardsley and Edward Gorey.
