I do love the mind/emotion reading trope, and I had fun with this book. The ending was a little underwhelming tho.

Ler Poe é sempre uma experiência incrível. Amei comparar as duas traduções de "O Corvo", ambas são lindas, mas sou tendenciosa com a do Machado haha. Só não entendi porque o conto sobre a múmia está nesse volume, sendo que não é uma história de horror, e sim satírica. Acredito que "O Coração Revelador" seria mais adequado para essa coleção. 

i love haunted house stories. this one was just underwhelming. i still had some fun listening to it though. (also, why is it so unnecessarily sexual?) 

One of the best fantasies I've ever read.

i think the tales are very readable and you get very into the character's lives and situations. at the same time, this is one of those books that is so clearly written by a man that it's painful.

the concept was very interesting and kept me reading very fast, wanting to know what came next. there were a few things that bothered me, however, if it wasn't for the last story this would've been at least a 4 star. the last story... well, let's just say that i hate that trope. hate hate hate it. 

Favorite ones: The Glass Tower, Mona, The Parade Begins, The Parade Ends, End of a Story.
