This musical tribute to Edgar Allan Poe takes listeners deep into the haunted realms of the literary master of the macabre. Nox Arcana weaves a lush tapestry of Victorian elegance and Gothic nightmares, inviting listeners to explore the shadows of a dark landscape filled with ghostly melodies, mournful dirges, eerie sound effects and ominous orchestrations. The cd also contains a 12-page booklet filled with original artwork from gothic fantasy artist Joseph Vargo, depicting Poe's classic works in lavish detail, in addition to a hidden "gold bug" riddle.
