    <body><![CDATA[This book is very gripping and tense (in a positive way). The tension builds up gradually and is released in a mind-blowing climax. Poe balances desciption well and makes an overall gripping read. <em>The Pit and the Pendulum</em> is a good read at night and <strong>WILL</strong> keep you up at night! I'm not joking.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17750023">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is still on of my favorite horror stories- what apt descriptions of the pain of waiting- the masochistic tendencies we fall to, the useless anger at our ineptitude.<br/>I've always felt this story could be quite easily interpreted as excellent existentialist fare, despite the pandering to its ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4860535">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Poe was in many respects the first foot in the door with Horror, the detective story, and science fiction, and he ended up dying in the gutter. I could blame the absinthe, but in many areas of art it would seem the guy who's blazing the trail is the first to get taken out by the Indians.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I found the short story on literature.org, and read it over my lunch break. scary and awful, as all the best poe is. i sometimes have trouble understanding his imagery and visualizing the scene. the end was abrupt and almost unbelievable. <br/><br/>so don't ever want to be tortured!]]></body>
