Fantastic so far. It’s truly amazing how these old stories are still influencing modern works.

I see Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” in Black Mirror’s “Playtest.”

I see O’Brien’s “What was it” in the movie Paranormal Activity.

I see Bierce’s “The Death of Halpin Frayser” in Twin Peaks.

On and on.

This collection of stories is excellent. I don’t think I realized how seminal these works were. They’ve influenced generations of writers, not to mention TV shows and movies.

A little supernatural horror before bed. Zzz.
