Edgar Allan Poe’s Amusing Tales

The project is experimentation on how to enrich the relationship between literature and the materiality of the book object itself through graphic design tools; turning reading into an active experience that requires user interaction.

This book object or experimental book enhances a concept from each of Edgar Allan Poe's Dark Tales through graphic and/or material resources, pushing the conditions of readability to the limit on multiple occasions. By treating container and content together, the meaning of the text is enhanced and the way of reading the stories is altered.
