My english teacher made me read this because of its somewhat complex vocabulary I guess, and I expected some long ass descriptions of a mysterious house with a cozy and ethereal vibe throughout the 30 pages.
Turns out this october read was not an autumnesque type but a halloween type of book. With still a ton shit of descriptions but we get used to it after 5 pages.
"Oh, the rest of the story must be the guy going through grief and die because of loneliness or something" no he just buried that girl alive nothing sad.

Well, that was a cute little story.

The beginning was over complicated with a lot of extra unnecessary words, but the last half was good. Also, super short.

Had to read this for an online class I am taking. I'm glad I didn't read it as a teenager, as it probably would have freaked me out somewhat. Now for some reason* all I can see is how campy it is...the possibilities for parody are endless. It truly has ALLLL the Gothic elements, and also, some random guitar playing and spontaneous songwriting.

*Ok, the reason is, my main knowledge of Poe comes from Shipwrecked's video series on YouTube: Edgar Allen Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party. This is why I giggled through The Fall of the House of Usher.
