The Cask of Amontillado - an Edgar Allan Poe Short Story

A beautiful edition of a creepy short story. This review is specifically for the No Reply Press edition.

Poe is a masterful weaver of words, and this tale of revenge is supremely creepy. The sense of madness with the continual cheery nature of the language whilst slowly consigning someone to their death is twisted and macabre. A fascinatingly brutal study.

Beyond the short story itself, this edition is gorgeous. Printed letterpress with a coptic binding presented in a clear acrylic slipcase, this is very special edition. The paste paper cover and wine label style titling buy properly into the theming of the book.

This is great to hang out and have fun, however it's a little bit creepy like the others Poe's tales.

Summary: The crazed Montresor carries out a sinister plan for getting revenge on a man who has insulted him.

the sense of impending doom was suffocating and the screaming match was dreadful, i loved it
