emily dickinson is the heroine of this short story, which plays off a certain poem of hers involving death. the horrific imagery of the story is so well done, so vivid and visceral, and the character of emily herself is as full of heart but just as inscrutable as you would expect her to be. the author clearly did his research into emily's life and more than anything, his story has made me want to do the same. "a terror" is available here for free.

This is a story based on Emily Dickinson's famous poem on death. This story had a strong beginning invoking wispy images of cold mornings but by the end the story loses its steam.

Creepy and good. I don't know Ms. Dickinson's poetry very well at all, but I did like the author incorporating fragments into the story, and the entire premise of explaining what Emily had experienced to write the poetry.

Fun, if abrupt, and slightly creepy supernatural tale featuring Emily Dickinson.

Another Tor.com short story.
This story was interesting but not awesome. I do like that it was based on an Emily Dickinson poem and that she was the main character, but I'm not sure I liked the story itself.
