A Terrible Vengeance: ⭐
I've had enough absurdism from Gogol. This one was heavy with the messaging and moral of the story. Characters were flat and bleh

Ivan Fyodorovich Shponka and His Aunt: ⭐⭐⭐
Lmao, more authors should end their stories like this. Don't know how to continue your story? Allude to a next chapter that doesn't exist and start off with an unrelated story in the prologue in which you explain to the reader that some of the manuscript was lost and can be found by visiting person X at Y-street... XD

Christmas Eve - ⭐⭐
This one was extra absurd, not necessarily in a good way 😅
Reading a great part of Gogol's bibliography back-to-back is not the wisest course of action, so imma take a break, read something else, then come back
