I went through a stage in my high school life that I had to devour all of Poe's work. It started with a simple English assignment to read the ever famous Raven and just went down hill for me from there. I really can't say even now what drew me into his writing. Was it the darkness and the angst of being a teenager at the time? Was it that I saw through to his tortured soul and felt sorry for him? Or was it something else entirely?The lure of the lost love? The heartbreak, the longing?I truly can not say.But appeal to me he did and so began my brief love affair with his work.So maybe as an adult, years later, seeing this story, well for whatever reason, I found myself being drawn to it and wanting to find out what it was all about. To get a glimpse into the life of (another)Poe, however fictional it may be.And this was a story worthy of Poe. A little unusual and a little dark. And full of weird.To be honest, I think I am still trying to process it all. Still trying to figure out the reality of the story from the non-reality. And yes, this was a little creepy. Okay a lot creepy and a lot eww too to be honest. Maybe a little too ick for me.There is a lot going on in this story and it is indeed dark and twisted and something worthy of Poe himself.If you like tortured souls and lots of darkness, this would be the tale for you.
