Enjoyable every time
A short story that I enjoy reading over and over. Poe makes you question the human psyche and what people are capable of.
A classic, "must read" book!
A classic and a "must read"! What more can I say. If you haven't yet read it, get a copy and do so!
An Insult Is Given Weight Not By The Giver, But By The Receiver
Like an unwitting opponent in the endgame of a crushing chess match, the pompous potentate becomes a persuasive ally to his own checkmate. Except itâs not so much a game heâs lost, but something far more precious. This is a very short story, but with a lasting message. No, it's not about chess, but a gambit is nonetheless offered, accepted; then played out.
Like something out of Criminal Minds
I gave this short story five stars because I like the macabre, and I also write short stories. It is a fast moving tale; one that constantly kept me wanting to see what happened next. The archaic language may make it difficult for some readers to understand, but that's what makes it literature - especially nineteenth century literature.
Better Every Time
I just reread this tale as a refresher to help my son with his homework. I've got to say, it gets better every time I read it. My first reading was as a Freshman in high school, just like my son. I can still remember enjoying the story and the chill it gave me when I realized Montresor's intentions. There have been numerous reasons between then and now and I seem to pick up on more and more sinister details each time. Edgar Allan Poe was a genius.
