Quotes by Jan Bondeson (?)

“It has been speculated that Poe's obsession with premature burial was due to necrophilia or that he used it as a metaphor for loneliness--- a sentient corpse buried alive by his unfeeling peers in the unfathomable tomb of the universe.”
― Jan Bondeson, Buried Alive: The Terrifying History of Our Most Primal Fear
