Me gusta mucho de esta antología en concreto que tiene mucha variedad en los relatos dentro de Poe y no es solo de terror, que es lo más conocido.

Dicen que este es de esos libros en los que hay que entrar sin saber nada... A mí eso normalmente me da igual, pero puedo decir que he ido a ciegas y ha sido una gran experiencia.

I loved it, don't get me wrong, but there's A LOT of miscommunication. The rest of it was really cute, though. Especially Mary Georgina.

Loved this anthology, here's a little comment about each tale:
  • The wrong foot:
    A fun and alternative version of the Cinderella story. Great read.
     
  • Undead Philosophy 101:
    I was expecting a different kind of ending; I liked it though.
     
  • A Cup of Comfort:
    It was so cozy, but I didn't really like the resolution.
     
  • Dreaming Harry:
    I loved Elizabeth.
     
  • Offerings:
    A cute, cozy story. I don't need more than that.
     
  • Dancing in the Dark:
    I love when children are well constructed characters.
     
  • The Disastrous Début of Agatha Tremain:
    I love how the darkness and hope mox in this story.
     
  • The Wildness Inside:
    Beautiful tale about grief, pain and hope.
     
  • The Art of Deception:
    That was a fun ride, loved it.
     
  • Midnight:
    Kinda sad, but really well written.
     
  • Clasp Hands:
    Kids being kids and (found) family. I thought it was gonna go a darker route, I'm glad it didn't.
     
  • Crow:
    I didn't expect a crow to be a symbol of self-confidence in this way, it's great.
     
  • True Names:
    "I married a man, I took his name, but I'm still me" is a nice resolution.
     
  • Good Neighbors:
    This is the beginning of a love story with lots of stubbornness, miscommunication and fun. (Check the full collection, it's great).
     
  • Love, Your Flatmate:
    I love the trope of going from despising each other to love. Especially when they're not actually hurting each other at first.
     
  • House of Secrets:
    Dark, but cute and sweet.
