The Cask of Amontillado | 
pick🎧 This really doesn‘t fit in my current Christmastime theme BUT What a deliciously creepy tale. I‘ve seen TV shows with this plot (I like Svengoolie). Insult this man & he will bury you alive. Revenge short & sweet! BJ Harrison was a fantastic choice as narrator! I‘ll listen to this again. As he places that last brick … and knowing that 50 years later the remains remain entombed!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3
pickKicked off #33by33 with this story. It was so short I listened to it on audio and read it again on kindle! Do any of y‘all keep track of book references from shows you watch? This one was referenced in Castle, but Criminal Minds is another show with a bunch of book references. 🤓 #BookSpinBingo
pickThis has always been a favorite. I still get goosebumps when I read it. Alas, no supernatural - just a twisted story of revenge in the catacombs. Shivers.

I read this story for class along with some other great ones like A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O‘Connor, A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin, The House of Asterion by Jorge Luis Borges, Sonny‘s Blues by James Baldwin, Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, and Girl by Jamaica Kincaid.
I recommend all of them, but especially this one if anyone is wanting to feel creeped out. 🧱💀
pickMy freshman English class will discuss this story tomorrow. I am so excited, because I just love it! This one is my favorite Poe story, and I will use it to bring my Gothic Literature unit to a close. I am sorry to be finishing this unit, but my next book is To Kill a Mockingbird, so I am definitely looking forward to that.

Chilling tale of #revenge! Fortunato, tricked by the ruse of tasting the most amazing wine, follows Montressor into his wine cellar where Montressor plays out his act of revenge for unspecified insults. Certainly Fortunato, who has no clue of what is to come, fits #dontwannafight!
pickA Gothic short story written in 1846, by Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps one of my favorite of all Poe's works, this literary genius stimulates one of everyone's deepest and scariest fears: to be buried alive.
