I didn't read the description of the book before reading, just added it to my library list on a friend's suggestion, so when it turned out to be an alternate take on classic Poe I was delighted. I think it would have felt less creepy to me if I weren't familiar with the original story, but it would still have been worth reading. Perhaps a little too much history on the region Easton comes from, but I appreciated their nonbinary identity and how much they loved their horse.
