Poe had a real fascination with perpetrators concealing their crimes by means of home renovation projects.

I LOVED this collection; apart from Ligeia... I didn't like was Ligeia. But the rest were so so good. Dark, weird, and thought-provoking. Will probably read again and would definitely recommend it

A cool introduction to Edgar Allan Poe's works! I wish I was someone in 1800-something so I'd feel the full effect those had on the people at the time.
