Edgar Allan Poe Stories Reimagined as YA Novels

It’s a wonder that there aren’t more YA versions of Edgar Allan Poe stories, although I guess it’s probably because of all the creepy birds, sinister eyeball motifs, and just straight-up death.

NOTE: Some names have been made up by me because of Edgar Allan Poe’s penchant for never naming his narrators.
