I have a history with this one, so I thought I'd fit a quick reread in to get some #valitines squares. Poe is very good with language and the whole thing stays creepy, though the ending is less emotionally affecting than I remembered. I also noticed some imperialistic worldview things that I missed when I was younger. My favorite thing about this story is the way horror is put on the house and dynastic family. I think I should try to read more gothic things, or modernized gothic things. I seem to like the tropes involved.
