I enjoyed the shorter stories such as The Black Cat, Tell-tale Heart, The Masque of the Red Death and The Gold Bug. The longer stories were boring and I found had too much description!
Overall, I loved Poe's writing and language. He can keep you gripped until that very last sentence!

rating this through the stories: the golden bug, the balloon hoax, the facts in the case of m. valdemar, ms found in the battle, and the cask of amontillado : 4⭐️

My favourite from the 4 would be the cask of amontillado and the gold bug ✨️

I will definitely be continuing the rest right after I finish my other uni readings that's due for a theoretical analysis this sem

Took me ages to read this. Some of the stories are brilliant, some I found tedious. Mixed bag and not really my preferred genre - hence low rating.
