I’d heard this story is one that has inspired many a horror book. I just read one of them so I wanted to go back and listen to this one to see the similarities and differences. Poe is sooo creepy. It was rough. But also brilliant

Honestly I tend to struggle with the language of work’s written around this time but Poe is the champion of ratcheting up and delivering on tension in such a short time.
