Gabriel Pacheco is a Mexican illustrator who has a rather simply haunting style. On his blog, you’ll see that his works are often paired with quotes or excerpts from pieces of literature. The connection to story-telling in his illustrations seems to stem from his first work as a published artist, which was illustrations for a story written by his sister.
