 Amazing short story, I could really go in depth on why I love it if I wanted to but I don't really have the time or motivation. It's very unsettling, interesting and intense. Describes so much with so little and you get really a really distinct picture of the story while still being able to imagine a lot for yourself. I am definitely going to read more Edgar Allan Poe in the future, I am so hooked.

I knew what happened in this story to a certain degree, but I didn't realize how quickly it all happened! Very interesting read. Made me realize I have no idea how old lanterns work at all lol
