Re-read a few Poe stories to celebrate his birthday. Masque of the Red Death, a favorite, reminded me why I like his writing so much.

Estoy re-descubriendo los libros que son antologías de relatos y me estoy llevando una grata sorpresa. En cuanto a este recopilatorio en concreto, ya había leído "El corazón delator" y ya sabía que me gustaba bastante el estilo que Poe había demostrado en él.
También me ha gustado mucho el último: "La cita".
Los otros dos: "William Wilson" y "El escarabajo de oro" también me han gustado y me han parecido interesantes, pero me han dejado quizás más fría.

DNF at page 144. I liked some stories, but it didn’t really click with me. My patience wavered.
