Experience Real Horror With iPoe, Now Free In Honor Of Edgar Allan Poe
October 5, 2012
Halloween is just around the corner. And predictably enough, a number of iOS games have been updated with various types of Halloween-themed content. But if it's genuine Halloween fright you're after, then you can do far worse than reading iPoe - The Interactive and Illustrated Edgar Allan Poe Collection, which is free for a limited time.
Come to think of it, you won't be reading iPoe so much as experiencing it. That's because iPoe is no ordinary e-book containing some of the greatest stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
As the app's subtitle indicates, iPoe is also interactive and illustrated. And by virtue of the superb interplay between these two attributes, iPoe becomes an immersive experience in horror storytelling.

From today until Sunday, Oct. 7, which happens to be the 163rd anniversary of Poe's death, you can download iPoe free of charge.
