როგორც ჩანს, ამ 3 მოთხრობას გოთიკური სტილის გარდა უფრო მეტი აკავშირებს ერთმანეთთან და ამიტომაცაა ერთად და მთლიანობაშიც რაღაც ერთიან შთაბეჭდილებას ტოვებს. ერთდერთი - ამონტილადოთი დავიწყებდი - უფრო მსუბუქია, უფრო დალაგებულიც და შესავლად გამოდგება - მერე "გული" და ბოლოს "აშერები" მოშნი ფინალისთვის.

ძალიან კარგია, ეტყობა რომ პოეტის დაწერილია - ახლა გავიგე რას ნიშნავს როცა ამბობენ პოეტის პროზას ყოველთვის ეტყობაო. ნუ, ცოტა კი იყო სიტყვები რომ ვერ გავიგე და მოძებნა მომიწია, მაგრამ მთლიანობაში XIX საუკუნის დასაწყისის კვალობაზე ყველაფერი მაინც გასაგები და საინტერესო იყო. თუმცა, ისიც უნდა ვაღიარო, რომ ეს გოთიკა მაინცდამაინც ჩემი სტილი ვერ აღმოჩნდა - თითქოს რაღაცა აკლია, თითქოს მარტო ფასადია, თუ რაღაც მასეთი.

Read in school.

The writing is hard to follow, a lot of reputation. But a scary crazy read.

☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★ "I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? "

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ Ah, Edgar Allen Poe, je t'aime!! I love all of his work so much, it started when I read "The Raven" for school and fell In love with his unique style, description, and voice. This was really short, but I was in the mood for a nice short-story because I'm not finishing Once Upon A Broken Heart until tomorrow, because then I have a road trip and really will need a good book. Anyways, I love Edgar's portrayal of mental illness/madness, and how it takes over the brain. I do feel like the beating heart was a metaphor for the narrator's guilt eating him away inside after what he'd done - but I'm not sure yet. I need to read someone else's interpretation. Anyways, this book taught me what "death watch beetles" were and the superstition behind them which was such cool morbid history. I have to read more Poe!

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ I have no critiques, personally.

Horror has not been my genre, but as Poe describes it made me want to read it more.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but once conceived, it hunted me day and night.
