A Descent Into the Maelstrom by Edgar Allan Poe
1.0
When I find a Poe I like, I really like it. When I find a Poe I’m not crazy about, I find my judgement is rather harsh. A Descent into the Maelström falls into the latter category.
Although this was an atmospheric read, I was never pulled into it the way I had hoped to be. It was a quick read, one that I powered through in no time, but at no point was I hooked. I kept reading because I wanted to see how it ended, not because I was invested. I know many enjoy this one, but this is one of the Poe stories that did not work for me.
All in all, this is one of Poe’s work I won’t be reading again.
