The image this short-story paints in your head is just perfect. Underrated Poe.

Bad Tyrant gets his karma. I didn't like the level of ableism that was present even though it was shown through the lense of it being bad. I guess that's the time frame though.

Apenas quince páginas necesita Edgar Allan Poe para contarnos una maravillosa y terrible historia sobre el poder, los abusos y la venganza. Con un claro tinte gótico y algunos toques de terror, la historia nos traslada a una sala del trono de un rey cruel y sus sirvientes especializados en mirar hacia otro lado ante la crueldad del gobernante.
Y todo ello lo hace con la maravillosa prosa de Poe, que és impecable, y la facilidad del escritor para trazar historias en muy pocas páginas.
A mi, particularmente, me habría gustado que durase muchísimo más. Pero, desde luego, debo reconocer que con la poca extensión que tiene le sobra para haberme provocado emociones.
