Darkness There: Selected Tales by Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe is known as the forefather of suspense and modern crime fiction. For the first time ever, Darkness There showcases some of his most famous tales with stunning digital illustrations. Each story explores a different twist of madness, murder, and melancholy, from the horror of being buried alive in “The Fall of the House of Usher” to the desperate case of two gruesome killings in “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” The heartbeat of paranoia in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the razor-sharp claustrophobia in “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and a mourner’s torment in “The Raven” reveal—and revel in—life’s creepiest and craziest. These tales are not for the faint of heart or the thin of skin.

0Well this is odd, I believe I just discovered I am not a fan of Poe's work haha.
I read The Tell-Tale Heart all the way through, couldn't tell you what it was about or if I liked it.
I read The Raven poem, the best piece in this collection.
Dnf'd The Fall of the House of Usher because it was boring
Dnf'd The Murders in the Rue Morgue so I have no clue who killed the old lady and her daughter (I think it was her daughter) it just felt like the narrator? wouldn't shut up, just super long drawn explanations for everything.
Dnf'd The Pit and the Pendulum, final story in the collection and in all honesty at that point I just did not care anymore.
I find Poe to be super over written and annoying to read.
