Want to get back into reading more because I've been severely lacking in that last year, whoops

reading this again, because I wanted to start with the second one, but I can't for the life of me remember enough to read the second one

The first story, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, is (don't quote me on this) the first modern detective.

Dupin (our main character) is a man of great deductive ability (much like our beloved Sherlock Holmes), and the story is viewed from his handman (also much like our beloved Sherlock Holmes).

Poe artistically crafts the scenery of Paris and masterfully describes the gory happenings of the murder.

A great start!

I firmly believe that he just made up some words just to seem smart.

It works and his prose is extraordinary

this is one thick ass book

the pacing is all over the place

the only thing I can say about this book so far is: What. The. Fuck.
