Poe is one of the most popular short story writers of all time. Maybe people just didn't see the thread.

>>9023285

>>9023285

I could fuck with this.

Fukkit I'll do this now instead of working.

Just read it. Only think I got from it is a spooky story and an overelaborated prose. Am I missing something?
>>
Didn't finish it. Got most of the way through and was honestly too bored to complete it.
>>
>>9024705
Agreed desu
Just think of all the plebs that will be reading this shit instead of shitposting on /lit/. OP has devised a great pleb filter indeed

I might participate from time to time if these keep up. I hope by that point, the idea that everything you read must have something of significant, deep value to impart that the past few threads I have read seem to have been pervaded by stops. Sometimes there's just a story.

Fuck off. Were to intelligent for genre fiction.

I hated the prose so much that I won't even bother finishing the story.

We had The Secret Life of Walter Mitty two threads ago, so we're okay with genre fiction (or at least I am). The problem with this story is the prose. It's just too elaborated and it gets boring. A friend told me to read The Golden Bug and I found it a very clever mistery story, so my problem isn't with Poe, but with this story.
>>
Honestly I'm going to shitpost about anything OP chooses while secretly reading it, fampai.
