“A Supermarket in California” By Allen Ginsberg Review

This poem explores the themes of imagination, illusion, and reality.

Finally I’ve read a poem which is about something else that death, and about the depressing aspects of life which happens to annoy me in poems now on days because there are so many of them.

The pilot itself is kind of unique but I felt like it didn’t use its full potential which it had. 

The writing style was okay for the most part. I feel like it could have been better if the author gave the writing style more time. 

I give this poem 3 / 5

“The Tyger” By William Blake Review

The speaker directly addresses a tiger, imagining its bright flashes of color in the dark night-time forest. The speaker asks which immortal being could possibly have created the tiger’s fearsome beauty. The speaker wonders in which far-off depths or skies the tiger’s fiery eyes were made.

This one was pretty okay poem but still it was far from the Edgar Allan Poe and H.P Lovecraft level. 

The plot in this poem was okay but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the concept, so many that’s why I only gave it 3 star. 

This poem is the generic poem everyone thinks about when they think about a poem. Because it has archaic language. It has a lot of religious imagery and it has the very strict rhyming schemes.

I give this poem 3 / 5

“To a Mouse” By Robert Burns Review

To A Mouse depicts Burns’ remorse at having destroyed the nest of a tiny field mouse with his plough. He apologises to the mouse for his mishap, for the general tyranny of man in nature and reflects mournfully on the role of fate in the life of every creature, including himself.

The writing style in this poem was kind of decent but still not much to talk about because it wasn’t that great when you look as a whole.

The plot here was okay for the most part but it had some up turns and down turns. But for sure it had the potential to be better if it was written by Edgar Allan Poe or H.P Lovecraft. Or at least if it had a creepy or scary part to it.

Overall this poem is a little silly poem which in the end doesn’t make sense in the end. 

I give this poem 3 / 5

“One for the Road” By Stephen King Review

The main part of the story is set a couple of years after the events of “Salem’s Lot”.

So this little short story takes place after the event in Salem’s lot which as you might know is one of my least favourite books from Stephen King.

This short story didn’t quit feel like  something written by Stephen King, it rather felt like something written by some who tried to impersonate Stephen King. 

The writing style was kind of okay. It wasn’t good nor bad. But the writing style has nothing much to talk about. 

I give this short story 3 / 5

“The Road Not Taken” By Robert Frost Review

The plot of this poem is about is often impossible to see where a life-altering decision will lead. 

This poem I’ve read it quit long ago but I sort of forgot to review it so here it comes now.

As you might know I’m not the biggest fan of the poetry and every time I’m to review a poem I don’t know what to say for whatever reason. 

The plot it this poem is okay but nothing to much to talk about because after all it is just a poem. 

The writing style in this poem was the generic writing style which you will see in every poem which exist.

I give this poem 3 / 5

“Acquainted with the Night” By Robert Frost Review

This one is about an exploration of isolation, sorrow, and despair—emotions that feel as inescapable as the night itself. These emotions, Frost suggests, are not unique to the speaker of his poem, but rather a universal part of the human experience.

This one is another pretty decent poem from Robert Frost. To be honest im not the biggest fan of poems but there are few that I like. However this one isn’t one of them but it still was okay.

The writing style in this poem was pretty decent but far from what Robert Frost is able to. Ive read some of Robert Frost’s work as you can tell.

The story is pretty good but for me it was something missing at least for me. This poem explores Sorrow, Isolation and despair and these emotions are sort of mixed in this poem. Its  was fun to read this poem but nothing more than that to be honest here. 

This poem gets 3 / 5

“The Temple” By H.P. Lovecraft Review

The story is narrated as a “found manuscript” penned by Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, a lieutenant-commander in the Imperial German Navy during the days of World War I. Altberg begins by declaring that he has decided to document the events leading up to his untimely end in order to “set certain facts” before the public, aware that he will not survive to do so himself.

Another pretty average short story from no other than H.P Lovecraft. 

The writing style was probably the best part of this short story, it was actually super good. It makes you imagine indoor head what you read in this short story. This short story really proves that the writing style is as important as the plot itself. 

The plot itself in this short story however was pretty average. I think that H.P Lovecraft really nailed it, because I have a feeling that if someone else wrote this story it wouldn’t be as good as it really as.

And I gotta be a little bit honest here with you about the fact that this short story is a slightly unusual story for H.P Lovecraft.

And I need to give this short story extra points for being sort of a claustrophobic underwater horror short story. I’m the person who is scared of deep seas and oceans so it works very good on me. 

I give this short story 3 / 5

“The Bride of the Sea” By H.P. Lovecraft Review

Gotta say that this short story was pretty average, it was okay but nothing more than that. 

The writing style here was pretty basic and not much here to say more than that. It was good but sort of this didn’t feel like something Lovecraftian as you might expect. 

The plot itself was okay, but I had hard time connecting with it so of course if I can’t connect with the plot then I can’t give the book / short story a good reading even if I want to.

The narrator of this short story was sort of a generic narrator which you can find in any book and short story with a narrator from 1900s. 

I think that this short story had a little bit of potential to be better than it actually was. 

I give this short story 3 / 5

“Dagon” By H.P. Lovecraft Review

This short story tells the story of Paul Marsh, a young man who discovers that the truth will not set him free instead it condemns him to a waking nightmare of unrelenting horror.

So another pretty average short story from H.P Lovecraft. I’ve been lately binge reading H.P Lovecraft stories so that’s the reason why there have been so much talk about H.P Lovecraft on this site lately. But lets go to the review shall we ?

The writing style was pretty good in this one, it really surprised me how good it was because I had low expectations for this short story. 

The plot itself was pretty good, but it could have been better. There were parts where I connected with this story but I hard time connecting with the entire story which means no so high rating. 

But I gotta admit that this short story is one of the darkest mythos in literature. Which I really didn’t mind because it was relatively good.

I give this short story 3 / 5

“The Premature Burial” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

This one is about being buried alive, which was a common fear in this period. It is also about natural fears of people, and how other individuals’ experiences can taint how we live our own lives.

To be honest it doesn’t get more Edgar Allan Poe than this short story. And I need to give this short story points for giving my huge Edgar Allan Poe vibes. 

The writing style in this short story was amazing, it truly shows how create of a writer Edgar Allan Poe was. The gothic writing style comes very forward in this one which I truly loved. 

The whole plot is amazing, because the idea if being buried alive always scared me and I sometimes thought about it. However there were some plot holes in it, but the plot holes aren’t big enough to ruin the story for most of you. 

This one isn’t scary but it is definitely very creepy because I think that everyone is afraid of being buried alive and have thought about it at some point in their life. 

If you are like me, this short story when you finish it, will leave you with a feeling of unease.

I give this short story 3 / 5
