Your Daily Poe (Or Edgar Allan If You're Nasty)

As it's officially October (BOO!), I will on every day be reading one short story written by the Master of the Macabre himself, and briefly commenting on it. Enjoy!

Day 14: William Wilson

Thoughts: A rare misstep for Poe in that you easily sniff out the final twist one page into its nine pages; of COURSE the opposition was internal and imagined, and of course in the end WW could only hurt himself. But still an enjoyable read, with Poe's typical heart-pounding, breathless pose, unlike a few other of his stories that leave you angry you wasted the time reading it all for another sudden/eye-rolling ending.

Memorable Line: "It may seem strange that in spite of the continual anxiety occasioned me by the rivalry of Wilson, and his intolerable spirit of contradiction, I could not bring myself to hate him altogether."

Score from 1-10: 6
