2024 Year of Classics
cw/tw: torture, violence, animal cruelty and animal death
This was a great way to start my 2024 reading year. Poe is one of my favorite classic writers and this collection proves why. His writing is hauntingly beautiful, his stories are terrifying on a psychological level, and his stories, despite scarring me, always make me want to come back for more. This was a quick read, but well worth it. If you want classic horror, look no further than Edgar All Poe's works.

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