Pen and ink illustration inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, featuring an open-beaked raven squawking atop a pile of books, with the full moon partly obscured by clouds. Rendered with extreme and intricate detail, the scene exudes Gothic horror, characterized by eerie and gloomy illumination, a moody and dramatic atmosphere. Elements of the uncanny are evident in the deformed irises and pupils, giving the bird a haunting appearance. Its eyes appear cross-eyed, contributing to the otherworldly effect. Mutated hands and extra fingers appear subtly around the scene, creating an unsettling vibe. The composition is cropped for focus, resulting in a high-resolution, HDR quality without artifacts or text interference, and devoid of any signatures, watermarks, or artist identifiers for a pure visual experience. The bird's elongated neck adds an unusual touch, with areas intentionally left out of frame to provoke imagination.
