The poem is about a lost soul or spirits of dead. It is based on his wife’s death, Virginia Clemm. As though his wife was an important role in his life, and this unfortunately accident, affected him so deeply that after he wrote many poems about dead.

So this one is another pretty okay poem from Edgar Allan Poe.

I need to say that this might be one of the best poem from Edgar Allan Poe in my opinion. 

This poem is short as you can except from a poem. This poem is also very quick to read.

If you are like me or similar to me. You will have a fun time reading this poem and you will find this poem very interesting. 

Because of the language in this poem is so old as it is, it makes this poem to even more moody than it actually would be without that old fun English. 

I give this poem 3 / 5

The story follows the young Frederick, the last of the Metzengerstein family, who carries on a long-standing feud with the Berlifitzing family. Suspected of causing a fire that kills the Berlifitzing family patriarch, Frederick becomes intrigued with a previously unnoticed and untamed horse.

The words in this short story sort of carries sort of a weight that you will find yourself enthralled at their delivery. 

This story has also the ability to grip you and won’t let you until the end of this story.

The writing style was pretty decent but still it wasn’t that good as in some of Edgar Allan Poe’s other work. 

This story might first look as a simple gothic story but you will be surprised because there’s so much more in this story.

The background of this story seems like it was inspirited by the words of an ancient prophecy.

This one is very underrated, it is actually better than much people on internet claim it is. 

This one is packed with the classic elements of Edgar Allan Poe as well as it is packed elements of gothic literature and Victorian ghost stories. Which I personally am a huge fan of. 

I give this poem 3 / 5

The story follows a man of “a noble descent” who calls himself William Wilson because, although denouncing his profligate past, he does not accept full blame for his actions, saying that “man was never thus … tempted before”.

The ending of this story was just brilliant. And i’m sure that a lots of you will enjoy it for sure just as much as I did. 

The whole plot of this story is also pretty amazing, but less amazing than the ending itself. 

By reading this one you will also get some good insight into the psychology of that young man and his motifs which as a whole is an incredibly good psychological study.

This one is definitely one of the best Edgar Allan Poe stories. And if you are calling yourself an Edgar Allan Poe fan and you haven’t read it yet then you must do it.

I would say that this short story is a typical Edgar Allan Poe story. Because it is chilling, have a super gothic vibe to it and its hard to stop reading it when you begin.

Need to say that this one is a very enjoyable read and also pretty fun and quick read as well. 

The writing style in this one is as you can expect from Edgar Allan Poe which of course means that it is amazing and super moody.

I give this poem 3 / 5

“Three Sundays in a Week” depicts a grumpy Uncle Rumgudgeon who refuses to grant his nephew Bobby permission to marry his daughter and, therefore, inherit a portion of Rumgudgeon’s estate. The uncle, being sly, says he would only offer his blessing when “three Sundays came together in one week.

Need to say that this one was an amazing mental puzzle and super interesting in thought I had some high expectations for this one which it didn’t live up to.

However as the whole story in general I need to say that it was kind of silly and there were times where the story made me laugh.

This one is far from being one of the greatest works by Edgar Allan Poe nor is it super bad as some of Edgar Allan Poe.

The beginning of this story was amazing but the end was kind of the opposite of the beginning.

The writing style however was amazing in this one, which really blow my mind.

The whole story decently have a gothic, sweet and kind of laughable vibe to it. Which isn’t after all so bad mixed as I always thought.

I give this poem 3 / 5

This short story is about a man who decides to visit a relative living near the Hudson River north of New York City for two weeks during a cholera epidemic in the city. An outbreak occurred during the summer of 1832. One day during this visit, the man is reading a book near the window overlooking a scenic view of the Hudson River.

This one short of gives you an atmosphere of gloom and a large mysterious creature which of course is hiding and moving around the place.

However this one involves a small part of creepiness which is followed by humour which is always fun.

This whole story gives you creepy and surprising vibe. Which is why many people decide to read Edgar Allan Poe.

The most annoying thing with this short story is that as you read the story you will feel something big going on and which will happen any second. And Edgar Allan Poe just keeps building on that feeling and in the end nothing happens. 

In this one Edgar Allan Pie use a clever method of distraction to trick the reader as the horror unfolds. 

This one is also a fun little read, which can be read in 10 minutes or so.

This one is also very interesting but not as scary as you might expect from the gothic king himself. 

The writing style is pretty decent but Edgar Allan Poe was able to do much better than this one. 

But this story definitely needs to get points for being interesting, amusing, fun to read and clever.

I give this poem 3 / 5

The narrator explains at length his theory on “The Imp of the Perverse”, which he believes causes people to commit acts against their self-interest. This essay-like discussion is presented objectively, though the narrator admits that he is “one of the many uncounted victims of the Imp of the Perverse”.

So this one was another brilliant and extraordinary short story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

The writing style in this one is as you can expect from Edgar Allan Poe. Which of course means that the writing style was pretty good to say at least.

This one begins as a essay where Edgar Allan Poe describes the impulse to do wrong precisely because we know it’s wrong.

This short story also gives you an unique perspective on that which leads us astray.

For the most part this whole story goes around the topic of being careful of what you say in public because no one knows what will happen.

The most fun part of this short story is how Edgar Allan Poe portrays horror and madness is amazing.

In this short story Edgar Allan Poe explores why the seemingly rational willpower of man is occasionally disrupted by an impulsive, self-destructive and unique “imp of the perverse”.
