My favorite story of all time
5By KristenLove13It’s so dark and sick and twisted and I love every delicious moment!!!!!!!A Good Read
5By Xenon0104I am and always have been fascinated by the work of Mr. Poe. His writing style has always intrigued me, for it has good taste in words. Mr. Poe doesn’t use simple words to describe things. He uses a wide range of vocabulary and that is what makes his work so fun to read for me. I am always learning new and unusual words when I read his work. My vocabulary is nowhere near as impressive as his, but I hope someday that it will be.Hhh

5By VrinnieI was only able to understand and this story a little bit because there were many confusing words. Most of them were words that we haven't even learned yet. And also they were words that no one even uses anymore! I gave it two starts because it was by Edgar Allan PoeClassic horror
