People have been peeling the skin off of this onion for decades. Still a great story.
Not my favorite EAP story, but as always he can do no wrong.
Five stars. It's Poe, what else do you expect.Also, I watched the movie. Creepy. I liked it.
Very complex story with beautiful language. Something you definitely need to read several times to fully absorb.
This was creepy and delicious. I am now ready to read the Masque of the Red Death. Let's hope it's just as good.
