Next story: "The Signal Bells"
I really liked the way this started and went on - I even had to put it down one night because it set such a creepy scene - but the ending felt a bit anticlimactic somehow. I did like the writing style and excellent scene setting.

"Two Go Together"
Although I did see the ending coming from far away, this was a beautifully written and poignant story. I really liked the use of language here.

The Drum and the Bugle - Just as the spookiness started, the story ended. :/

Story #3: Bridge Street
Again very ominous but despite the imagery, which should easily affect me, it wasn't that scary in the end. Good scene setting though.

I really liked the second story, The Second Witness. It had a more ominous feel to it and an unexpected ending.

The first story, The Doll's House, feels like The Picture of Dorian Grey meets voodoo meets The Terror. Liked it!

The Gold Bug
I liked this one. It built up nicely and had some mystery and creepiness to it.

First short story done: "The Adventure of Hans Pfaall"
That took a while to get through with all the very detailed, scientific descriptions and long sentences. Almost like an Andy Weir of this time. 😂

😩

It's been so long since I read a book in Dutch, but the translation of this one is pretty good.
