Il pozzo e il pendolo | 
pickAfter reading contemporary fiction I need a few gos to get into the flow and classic style of Poe. Once I lock in, it‘s so beautifully crafted and satisfying to read. Sometimes I wish we all still spoke how Poe writes. His language is just so expertly crafted and meaningful. I read this because my local cinema showed Corman‘s adaptation a week after he passed. That film only shares a title with its source but it‘s a work of art in its own right.
Bookwomble Classic! Love Poe, and Corman is so OTT! 5mo
The_Book_Ninja I didn‘t appreciate those Corman/Poe films as a kid. They were always on very late…I don‘t know if I‘m misremembering but I think they were the 2nd film in the BBCs late night double bill. My mum was cool and always let me sit up but staying awake was another thing when the horror was psychological rather than violence, monsters and mayhem. 5mo
