This short story was a really quick listen on audio, I even listened twice in a row because I felt like I didn’t get it the first time. Reading it again helped me see more value in the story, though it wasn’t nearly as creepy as I hoped. I think I just prefer more modern horror. This old piece is tricky to understand the nuances of.

Honestly I tend to struggle with the language of work’s written around this time but Poe is the champion of ratcheting up and delivering on tension in such a short time.
