A claustrophobic horror of an unnamed condemned soul thrust into a dark room, likened to a tomb.

Poe could have been clearer with some description, and I found the start a tad convoluted (though I understand the stylistic decision).

Still, a terrifying tale that I will remember.

4/5

The haunting feeling of galloping insanity is palpable. The successive jumps from hope to despair, from marginal satisfaction at the slightest win of a failing mind to the unhinged derailment of a tormented psyche are vivid and unabated.

4/5
