I really liked the short stories, but the bulk of this book was The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, a sailing adventure type tale, which I'm just not that into.

Ha sido interesante releer estas historias de Poe después de tantos años (salvo "La cita”, una historia que nunca había leído y que me ha sorprendido gratamente). “El corazón delator”, ya un clásico del autor, sigue siendo uno de mis cuentos preferidos. La historia que quizá me ha descuadrado un poco, teniendo en cuenta el tono general de esta mini recopilación, ha sido "El escarabajo de oro" porque creo que es una lectura más similar a los relatos de detectives que tiene el autor como “Los crímenes de la calle Morgue”, “La carta robada” o “El misterio de Marie Rogêt”. Lo que me gusta de Poe es que tiene un estilo único pero sus obras son tan variadas que siempre va a haber alguna que te llame la atención.
