talaalkamil 's review for:
The Gold Bug
by Tobias Hill, Edgar Allan Poe
‘Can you read Poe and not be moved by him? You know you want to. You know he wants you to. If you can lose yourself, if you can step into the skins of his victims and monsters, then you will feel everything he wants you to feel - the melancholy and misery, the joy and joylessness, the humour and the horror and the beauty.’
Tobias Hill
the gold bug was definitely my favourite in this short story collection of three, followed by the sphinx and william wilson.
i need to read more poe! i don’t remember the last time i’ve been so hooked on a piece of writing than with the gold bug.
