Really a mixed bag, but their literary significance gave them another star. The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Gold Bug were both a yawn, but The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado still give me goosebumps.
TW for animal cruelty in The Black Cat. Just skip that whole story.

I read this little book today, and I was prepared for all the creeps. I mean check out that first page! I think I’ve only read The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart by Poe and it was a long time ago.

This book had these three stories: The Gold Bug, Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Stolen Letter. All were predictable and choppily written and not in the least bit scary! But the book is cool looking so I shall continue to display it every fall.

Sé que Allan Poe es un clásico, pero esperaba algo diferente. Le estoy dando 1.5 estrellas porque sí me gustó una de las historias.

Algunos de los relatos me gustaron más, otros menos, pero sin duda lo mejor fue la intigra, el suspense y el tinte macabro de muchos de ellos.
Si les tengo que poner alguna pega son las idas y venidas entre explicaciones, donde Poe se va por las ramas y se desliga de la trama con amplias explicaciones sobre la lógica o cualquier otro tema que venga de refilón.
Sin duda un buen primer contacto con Poe.
