A review by margheritaserafini
Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe
3.0
This is strangely peculiar read.
Terrifyingly chilling at times, yet I found the mysteries surprisingly fun to solve and my curiosity with death and the human mind kept me glued to the pages as if entranced by some old spell.
Let us go through the stories one by one though:
The Gold Bug - 3*: Story about a golden bug, pirates and criptograms. It was long and thick at first. The language was old and almost incomprehensible when coming from the former-slave Jupiter. But as I delved into the story, I wasn't able to put it down. Desperately craving, gasping for the solution to this tangled mystery. It's not scary at all, yet the setting and vibe where the story takes place are unsettling just enough to keep you waiting as the tale unravels. I had lots of fun trying to solve the riddles along with the characters, almost living with them the doubtful puzzling and the excitement upon discovery.
