Poe knows how to create an atmosphere, build tension and prolong horror better than almost anyone. It is what has made him so popular for so long. This story of the inquisition makes the blood freeze at moments. I could not bear the scene with the rats! (

Gripping, macabre tales from the mind's darkest corners

Daniel464 | Jun 30, 2022 |

I've previously written that regardless of what or who came before, it all really starts with Lovecraft and I stand by that. However, that said, I've been a huge Poe fan my entire life and I feel that he's generally more famous for a reason -- he's damn good! I love his work and I think he was very original in many of his works, including this one, but I subjectively feel Lovecraft did him one better, if only subtly. In other words, for me, Lovecraft is 1A and Poe is 1B. Together, they're simply unbeatable. Very recommended! (

I love Edgar. I know of no one else who can paint with words as well as he. (
