3/ 5 – So that’s why everyone’s obsessed.
Reading Poe feels like meeting a celebrity you’ve technically known your whole life, but never actually spoken to. He’s one of those names that floats around so much he almost exists separately from his work. Like, I’ve “known” who Poe was forever, but this was my first time really sitting with his writing, and I get it now. I get it.
The vibes? Immaculate. Gothic, eerie, a little deranged. Every story feels like you’re sinking underwater in a velvet cloak. There’s a dreamlike quality to his writing that caught me off guard. I thought it would be dry and stiff (classic lit brainrot), but it was way more immersive than I expected.
That said, I do wish some of these stories had room to breathe. He clearly had the ideas and the atmosphere down, but I would’ve loved to see him tackle a full-length novel. I wanted more space to settle into the stories before they ended. some of them felt like really good appetizers with no entrée.
Still, the impact is undeniable. I feel like I unlocked a piece of literary lore, and I’m not mad about it.
