The Yellow Wallpaper (5/5) - Classic, realistic, impeccably-written tale of a woman's dissent into madness. Very upsetting, feels like you're going crazy yourself.

Desiree's Baby (2/5) - An interesting, gothic glimpse into the antebellum South, but not much of a "horror tale."

The Yellow Sign (4/5) - Also classic and creepy as hell, but fizzles out just as it starts to heat up.

His Unconquerable Enemy (3/5) - Not particularly engaging and told from such a distance that it's tough to really care about any of the characters (including the rajah, who doesn't even get a name). The ending is also incredibly predictable.

In Dark New England Days (2/5) - A pretty empty, linear story that is kind of about a curse? But not really?

Sand-Man - 2 stars Mummy's Foot - 2 stars (no conflict) Aungier Street - 3.5 stars (runs out of steam) Upper Berth - 4 stars

Just finished the Spider-Man story, and it is honestly, without exaggeration, the worst Marvel comic book I have ever read. I can't even wrap my head around how they allowed it to be published (or how Mark Waid's name is attached). I am flabbergasted.

Yeah yeah, I know. But I was just in Florence and i wanted to read a book that was set there. So here we are.
