Federico DN's Reviews > The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales

Pure Classicness. Part II.

Yet another collection by legendary Poe. What is there to say? I love completionism! Another good but scarcely great mixed bag of sorts. You can always count on good ol’ Poe to get the job done… in an old fashioned convoluted kind of way. Thank God there was no poetry this time.

Go for the Best, consider the Good, whatever the Meh.

★★★★☆ “The Black Cat.”
★★★★☆ "The Fall of the House of Usher." [3.5]
