pickThis collection is a pick, even though I averaged only 3/5 among all the stories. It‘s a great introduction to Poe which concludes in his more famous work. The narration is solid and clear. Definitely a Poe fan after reading this collection.

A vain man who refuses to wear his glasses. His name says it all. Because of his vanity, he ends up marrying his great-great-grandmother. Couldn‘t stop laughing at him.

An ancient Egyptian mummy electrocuted back to life. They spoke to the mummy in Egyptian about all sorts of topics. Explores the idea that not everything was invented by Europeans.

Metaphysics with Poe? Poe‘s visit to the Dead Philosophers Society? The Dead Philosophers Society reads Poe? I don‘t know, this is definitely tied with The Masque of the Red Death. This definitely turns on all the brain cells and gets you thinking.

Poe‘s version of The Decameron, where the rich revellers are hunted down by the plague and killed. This is justice! Love it. This is my absolute favourite, by far, so far.

Intriguing look at how people deal with death and loss, and the different ways this managers in people‘s lives. Dramatic ending. Love when “verisimilitude” appears in a story.

This was a trip! I mean, cats do tend to get their way, one way or another, but this is impressive! He‘s turned into a full on murderer, even serial killer, because of a black cat.
This one is DARK.

4. You there, in the orange shirt - consider yourself tagged!
1. Yes, way more than I should 🙈 I‘m pretty sure I‘ve forgotten some but I‘m doing #eagerforedgar #lmpc (it kind of counts 😋)
A horror read along (forgot the #) and reading House of Leaves with my boyfriend.
2. I‘m not sure honestly. To something far prettier than my current name. I feel like my name is pretty boring 😅
3. This answer changes daily, but right now it‘s Square Hammer by Ghost.

I think I‘ve found my newest cross-stitch pattern....🖤🖤🖤
I joined a book club. (After 8 months in a new city, it's probably time to make some friends.🤷)
My first meeting is tomorrow night when we'll discuss 5 stories by Poe. 🦇🕷️
So tonight I'm playing catch-up.
Tommorow, I will be a bit nervous. 😬
pickGreat way to start the fall. I listened on audible and didn‘t love the narrator but it definitely got me ready for Halloween!
Does anyone else love it when Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone read you a bedtime story?
