Poe is economical and manages to make such a huge impact with the carefully chosen words that string together sentences that paint a sinister picture in your head and send chills down your spine. I savoured Poe's writing and I am itching to pick up his other works. I loved the use of an unreliable narrator and how now I cannot stop thinking about the story and whether certain things actually happened or were all in this unnamed narrator's mind.
