A Drop of Stolen Ink: 3 stars. I really appreciated how they took a story from the 1800s and turned it into a sci-fi story, Poe man, he's awesome. I think the concept was really cool. It didn't stuck with me as much, but it could have been that I wasn't paying enough attention. It was engaging, but not a stand out to me.

Changeling: 1 Star. This one just didn’t click for me and I felt I didn’t get the point of it.

Happy Days, Sweetheart 4.5 stars.
This is one of my favorite Poe stories and I loved how it was true to the story yet also super different. I loved the idea of being ignored and seeking revenge because of that because... relatable. The ending was not what I was expecting, but I am into it

The Glittering Dream: 5 stars.
This is such a great way to pay homage to the story but make it feel like your own story still. It is creey and dark. It feels like I was reading Silence of the Lambs. My favorite thing that Caleb has written. Also a quality Buffy the Vampire Slayer deep cut reference! I think this one will probably be my favorite in the anthology

Night-Tide: 4.5 stars. This had a beautiful, elegant tone to it. I felt it did a great job of matching the feel of the original tale. Also, this was the first time I saw my name in a book and spelled how I spell it, so that was a win for me

She Rode a Horse on Fire: 4 stars.
I really liked the writing of this. It had a nice foreboding tone and an interesting plot. I just feel like I didn't totally understand the ending
