A review by vthecreature
Selected Tales by Edgar Allan Poe

dark mysterious

I enjoyed many parts of this but am overall grateful to have finally completed it. the ‘women’ stories were cool but the concepts got repetitive. the dupin stories were interesting as well in their events but became tedious when dupin was explaining how he figured out the mystery after the fact. the ones i most enjoyed were william wilson, masque of the red death, the cask of amontillado, the pit and the pendulum, tarr and fether, and hop-frog. this is probably because these had the strongest endings and were entertaining throughout. the more iconic house of usher and tell-tale heart were standouts of course.  i’d like to read more of poe’s works in the future.
