In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe is a 96-page graphic novel published in 2002 by Vertigo (an imprint of DC Comics). Story Summary: The narrative centers on a Poe scholar named Sterling Tuttle who discovers a journal allegedly written by Edgar Allan Poe. This journal presents a fictionalized, macabre account of Poe's life, suggesting that his dark literary genius was fueled by real supernatural demons from another dimension rather than just mental illness or alcoholism. Tuttle must determine if these "demons" were actual entities or the tragic delusions of a fractured mind. The book is notable for being the first graphic novel created entirely with digital photography. Writer: Jonathon Scott Fuqua. Photographic Artists: Steven Parke and Stephen John Phillips. Artistic Awards: It was nominated for YALSA's best horror novel in 2005 alongside major titles like Stephen King’s work.
