La visión del mundo cambia con el tiempo, y lo que antes podía parecer aterrador ya no lo es tanto.

-Discussion Questions:
1. Do you like horror stories?
I don't like those stories so much because I may be not able to sleep, but it's easy for me to read them, so sometimes I read them.
2. Do you concentrate something and cannot become in sight around you because of it?
Yes, sometimes I become. I sometimes don't hear anything, if I concentrate something.

¿Qué decir de los relatos de Edgar Allan Poe? Pues que se tienen que leer sí o sí si te quieres considerar un amante de la lectura.

Uno de los grandes relatos de Poe, imprescindible para los amantes del terror.

Un clasico de Edgar A.Poe no se puede decir más que eso... es sombrio y hasta te da un poco de miedo en las pocas ojas y palabras que utiliza!! la verdad un muy buen escritor!!

από όλες, τις τόσες εκδόσεις του Πόε.. μακράν η καλύτερη!
Φανταστική Εικονογράφηση, προσεγμένη, επαγγελματική , εξαιρετική μεταφορά του κείμενου και έκδοση! και πάλι τα συγχαρητήρια μου στο Οξύ.

Fantastic literature apparently really isn't my thing.. I think I liked Maupassant's short stories better.. um...
