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.
