Probably not as scary as it might have been at the time. Still, it's weirdly unsettling and absolutely timeless in that respect. The prose has the strange power to make the story feel more dead and more alive simultaneously.

This is one of my favorite Edgar Allen Poe stories, the whole thing just flows so well and has a great conclusion. I had to reread this for school and was happy to do so :)

A beautiful short story by Edgar Allan Poe and a grand introduction to the unreliable narrator genre! I love this book so much and 100% recommend it. My only flaw is that the pictures in my version (I got it off Amazon and it had been printed by Amazon) really made 0 sense regarding the actual story. The story is also incredibly short, due to it being a short story. I would have rather had this story in a collection of Edgar Allan Poe stories where it would have been worth the price tag for 5 pages.
