“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”.

I give this poem 3 / 5

This poem is about the affect nature has over man. The affect nature has over Poe is described can be described as awe strucking. Poe uses allusion towards Greek mythology, giving it a mystical nighttime feel.

Another good poem from the goat of gothic field. This poem was another poem which I truly enjoyed which almost never happens with me when it comes to poetry. 

This poem has an incredible good prose which will be a delight to read if you haven’t read it so far.

The writing style is amazing as you expect from Edgar Allan Poe. You will definitely be able to feel the gothic and sweet vibe which this poem has. 

I give this poem 4 / 5 

It is about a man who wanders unconsciously to his lover’s tomb, and it is noted for its Gothic imagery and hypnotic rhythm. In “Ulalume” the narrator, with the nighttime stars as his guide, wanders through an eerie woodland.

So this poem for the most part focuses on the narrator’s loss of his beloved. Which Edgar Allan Poe knows a lots about because he have written multiple poems and stories on this topic.

This one I need to say is a melodic poem which of course not everyone will like. This poem almost reads as a perfect song with even better theme to it. But I personally don’t am a fan of.

This one is another quick and short poem as you can expect from Edgar Allan Poe.

This poem sort of gives you a Greek and Roman mythology vibe while reading it which I personally liked a lot.

For the most part the writing style is pretty decent but still Edgar Allan Poe was able to do much better than this.

I give this poem 1 / 5 

This little poem was pretty enjoyable read but not good enough for me to give it a higher rating. 

There were some nice lines in it, but it didn’t blow my mind or even close to it. 

If you are a big Edgar Allan Poe fan as I am then this poem is worth the read.

If this poem was a little bit more lucidity in a way and less lunicity then it actually is then it would have helped this poem to get a higher rating.

The writing style really helped out this poem for me at least, because it sort of got the old gothic and dark vibe to it which I personally love. 

I give this poem 1 / 5
