Poe is a fricking hack and it shows in his Dupin stories. His way of writing a genius character proves his midwit status >Rue Morgue >It was... le monkey!!! >Marie Roget >A thinly veiled fanfiction of the author self inserting as a genius detective solving a real life crime >Purloined letter >Why yes I had solved it before you had asked me to even involve myself even though the situation is incredibly secret
Dupin stories are really fricking awful, it really shows how insufferable Poe was in real life
Yeah I have to say so far Poe has been a major disappointment. His stories are not remotely spooky at all. He has no flair for constructing a world that draws you in or creates any tension or drama.
Why all this hate for Poe, you stupid homosexuals? He is a monolith of Western canon and of the horror genre. None of you could ever write better than me so all you do is post about Poe on an Indonesian waterboarding committee
