Nevermore is a griping horror book that allows the reader to dive into the mind of a deranged man while at the same time allows them to explore the dark recesses of their own mind. You will experience and view the human mind when it is pushed to its limit. Greed, torment, guilt and many more emotions are displayed in the short stories throughout this collection. Your own mind will be strained as you contemplate your own reactions if placed inside Edgar Allan Poe’s world. When you read and observe the illustrations portrayed in this graphic novel, you will feel as though you are feeling the stories tap on the inside of your skull, as if they are memories waiting to escape your psyche. Once you read through each story your mind cannot help but wonder how you would react when placed in the character's situations. Disorientation is the best way to describe the feelings that come from this novel; confusion and helplessness will overwhelm you as you allow your mind to step into the bodies of those who are tormented by the unknown.

Edgar Allan Poe reaches into your mind and pulls you into his gruesome fantasy world. As you jump through the multiple stories in the book you will lose yourself with excitement, confusion and fear. You will eventually forget that you’re reading a book as your mind dives into the text, your eyes absorb the images and you picture yourself in the character’s situations. “The Raven”, one of the most well-known stories is rationalized into a bright tale that focuses on greed and insanity. I recommend this book to older, more mature age groups. It’s an easy but interesting read that is will not disappoint. Every story displays a fresh, new display of art in-between each page. This creative collection of stories and lessons will stay in the back of your mind.
