I think it's an interesting short story, playing on the horror but saying it's only some "mere" events, as if it can happen to everyone. It also plays on the supernatural side of the horror, which was well-used.

This is a disturbing tale which I think works very well as such a short form story. I like that you are inside the head of someone who is a horrible person who you can't justify the actions of, as it makes a change from most main characters. As with most Poe, if you are easily disturbed this won't be for you and this is one of his more disturbing I'd say.
