read this if… you love tantilizing stories with twisted plots, stories that might leave you guessing.
the good
- a great variety of stories, some spooky and some with horror
- great use of the works of Poe as inspiration
the bad
- I loved some of these stories so much I wanted more!
Five authors joined together for this collection, creating two poems and four short stories. One of the poems was a modern rewriting of “The Raven,” which I loved. There were lots of Easter eggs to Poe’s works, which were fun to find. It’s a short read, but a fun one that I really enjoyed.
