You will just love ?The Fall of the House of Usher? on Netflix. It?s basically a love letter to Poe with references to his works and his life scattered throughout. I was never a hardcore Poe fan. I knew about his greatest hits (The Raven, The telltale Heart, and?that?s about it😉) but I was entertained by this show even without catching all the references. I read a synopsis afterward that explained it all and was just blown away.
Mike Flanagan (Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, etc) has really become the master of modern horror. He goes beyond the typical slasher/haunted house/jump scares and injects some real complexity into his shows. ?Thinking man?s horror?, if you will.
There was a point when in High School I was all in on Poe, had 4-5 of his books, etc.
I haven't read anything from Poe in quite some time.
Maybe I should, again
