His Hideous Heart: 13 of Edgar Allan Poe's Most Unsettling Tales Reimagined by Dahlia Adler

4.0

Wonderful collection of classic poems and stories from Edgar Allan Poe paired with reimaginations of those stories. With the exception of "The Raven" and "The Cask of Amontillado," I had never read any Poe before. I cannot claim to be a huge fan so maybe this isn't a book for the die-hard Poe fan. I cannot make that assessment.

I can say that of the 13 redo's none of them were bad. My favorites of the retellings were Lamar Giles variation of "The Oval Portrait" and Stephanie Keuhn's version of "The Tell-Tale Heart." I adore Amanda Lovelace but the "Raven" retelling was a bit lacking. All in all it was a good set of stories though.
