murders in the rue morgue! i realized halfway that i did know how this story ended but im still glad i read it

ligeia was the last short story! sad, macabre, substance abuse aka new york’s hottest club

descent into the maelstrom - sick ass title, so so boring

poe LOVES to bury a bitch alive. i didn’t know there was legitimate public fascination with this though…victorians were crazy

masque of the red death + the oval portrait = back to back bangers

the pit and the pendulum was cool! not supernatural horror like his other stuff but a prisoner deprived of his senses trapped by a swinging pendulum scythe

one thing about poe is he loves to write men who bury people alive in walls - cask of amontillado asf

the black cat will ALWAYS trifle with terrible awful men make NO mistake

“All in vain; because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, and enveloped the victim.”

i knew the premise of the tell tale heart but had never read it! read that line and said “yeah poe wrote that for sure dude”
