Ligeia: This anthology is giving an endless parade of just... young women dying: Berenice, Morella, then Ligeia. Surely this isn't all Poe wrote about? I think these should have been spaced out through the collection.

The Man who was Used Up: Classic authors go out of their way to use slurs. They *have* to write in a black character whose only purpose is to be called the n-word. Okay, cousinfucker, thanks for that.

Morella:I feel as if I’m forcing myself to like these more than I’m actually enjoying them. I really enjoy Poe’s style on a linguistic level but the substance is leaving something to be desired. Hoping later stories change my mind!

Berenicë: very creepy! slow dawning horror at the end. bizarre enough to stay in the memory.
the relationship between Berenicë and Egaeus (cousins, one ☠️ early) lowkey foreshadowed his own relationship with his cousin childbride??

First story:
MS Found in a Bottle - Poe’s poeticism and control of language is always phenomenal but the story wasn’t too gripping. After Googling, it seems it includes a lot of references which I wasn’t familiar with/knowledge I was unaware of and therefore couldn’t connect to it.
