Priče EAP koje sam čitala nisu tačno ove, već zbirka sa nazivom Anđeo čudnog i druge priče, ali je nema na goodreads, tako da ova zbirka služi kao zamjena.
Od nekih 15ak priča samo par njih su ostavile pozitivne utisak na mene, ili me zainteresovale. Ostatak nemam ni pravih riječi da opišem. Iskreno pomalo sam i razočarana.
Postoji mogućnost da zbog toga što sam uporedo čitala Lovkrafta, on ostavio takav utisak da sam očekivala potpuno druge stvari od Poa.
Isto i sama zbirka je potpuno nelogično sastavljena, pojavljuju se priče koje su vezane za neka druga Poova djela, u potpunoj izolaciji od bilo kakvog konteksta,što samo i dovodi do konfuzije, pa u krajnjem i ove ocjene.
2.5 zvjezdice.
