Matthew Spence’s Reviews > The Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe > Status Update

I read Edgar Allan Poe’s short story Mesmeric Revelation and thought it was ambitious but a bit of a slog. The combination of scientific musing and whimsical spirituality in the dialogue at the centre of the story was an intriguing plot device. I thought its exploration of spirituality was interesting. Still, I’m not sure Edgar Allan Poe is the best science fiction writer.
