  • Hop-Frog

    Serier serie Horror Classics
    As with "The Cask of Amontillado", this story is centred around revenge as the only possible outcome for the insulted protagonist. Disrespect breeds revenge, which tinted with allegory and served with less terrific elements, manages to crown justice on top. It is a story about the triumph of the little people, acting in revenge for the violent and bestial needs of the big ones. And finally, when ... Læs mere

  • A Dream Within a Dream

    Serier serie Horror Classics
    An example of Poe's melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet's own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker's ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet ... Læs mere

  • The Premature Burial

    Serier serie Horror Classics
    The story unanimously voices Poe's obsessive concern with premature burial. Dwelling on humanity's fear of being buried alive, Edgar Allan Poe provides not only examples of such dire practices, but engages the protagonist in a similar one as well. The story finishes with a plot twist – eerily claustrophobic and abnormally real for the narrator. And despite the fact that horror gives way to the ... Læs mere

  • Eleonora

    Serier serie Horror Classics
    "Eleonora" is a short story that draws heavily from E. A. Poe's own life and marriage. Surprisingly optimistic and devoid of any real terrors, the tale, though dealing with similar topics from Poe's previous works, abounds in examples of madness, love, and paradisiacal existence. Once again, the female character is at the centre of Poe's world, structuring the rest around herself and navigating ... Læs mere

  • Morella

    Serier serie Horror Classics
    Poe's symptomatic need to portray dying or already dead women is evocative of his own failed and miserably spent marriage life to his young cousin. "Morella", in a way similar to "Ligeia", explores man's infatuation with fatal women, and how difficult one's life becomes once this woman gains access to knowledge and freedom. The vampiric Morella is a personification of the narrator's sin, and the ... Læs mere
