I’ve been reading this book for almost three years and it feels so good to finally have finished it! I was surprised by what I found in here. Poe was slightly different to what I thought. He is very much shrouded in shadow and the macabre, at least, his more successful stories and poems were. But th Leggi tutto
How could I not love this book? Shortly after reading Poe's complete works as a teenager, my family was transferred to Fort Monroe in southern Virginia. While waiting for permanent housing, I ended up staying in the house (and the very bedroom) that Poe had been in while he served on the base. Pulli Leggi tutto
Edgar Allan Poe is one of the OG's when it comes to macabre literature. His name alone screams angst. I heed not that my earthly lotHath-little of Earth in it-That years of love have been forgotIn the hatred of a minute:I mourn not that the desolateAre happier, sweet, than I,But that you sorro
I really enjoyed these creepy, gothic, and thrilling short stories. Edgar Allan Poe really was original and ahead of his time in writing. The storytelling and his ability to paint a picture with words is fantastic. These stories are tales of tragedy, woe, despair, and typically do not end well. All
