His Hideous Heart: 13 of Edgar Allan Poe's Most Unsettling Tales Reimagined by Dahlia Adler

2.0

I think that since the goal was to write modern retellings, a lot of the authors went into sci-fi territory. I personally despise sci-fi so obviously I was not a fan of that, but on a less personal level, I don't think sci-fi really makes sense with the romantic-style of Poe's writing. Some of them were pretty ok/good but many were less than ideal. I love the concept for this book, but like almost all collections of works by modern authors centering the theme of reimagining old stories, it was disappointing.
so 2 stars for 'ok I guess'
