“Mad to come here…mad to stay!” THE HOUSE OF MONTRESOR #2, the second installment of our new sequel to Edgar Allan Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado,” is out in comic shops today!
We’ve now met Edana, the last living descendant of two men who mysteriously disappeared on the same night, two decades apart. As the only heir, the terms of the estate dictate Edana must live in her family’s house for a period of one month or else lose her claim to the Fortunato and Montresor lands. Edana has still to meet her guardian, the enigmatic Count Montresor, but malevolent stares from the shadows, and a whispered warning during a visit with her ailing grandmother, lead Edana to wonder if she wants any part of what The House of Montresor has in store.
The House of Montresor is a sequel to Edgar Allan Poe’s original gothic short story, The Cask of Amontillado. The new book is written by Enrica Jang with art by the amazing Jason Strutz. This comic fills in the story of Poe’s most cold-blooded killer, Montresor, and what he’s been up to fifty years after getting away with the perfect murder. Only one member of his victim’s bloodline is still alive, and Montresor is not finished tormenting the Fortunato family. Check out a preview of pages here.
Happy NCBD!!!
