The Murders in the Rue Morgue — Edgar Allan Poe Gothic Art Print

The Murders in the Rue Morgue — Edgar Allan Poe Gothic Art Print

Something monstrous came through that window. Something that should not have been there at all.

This original illustration was created by Sophie Atkinson for her fully illustrated anthology of Edgar Allan Poe's stories — a gothic labour of love that brings Poe's most chilling tales to life through bold, hand-drawn artwork. This piece captures the terrifying heart of the world's first detective story: the creature mid-rampage, all wild fury and impossible strength, rendered in Sophie's signature woodblock style with deep teal, black, and flashes of crimson.

Poe invented the detective story. Sophie made it look like a nightmare.
