Review:
Harold Bloom hated Poe.
I can understand that now. He has one or two outstanding stories, then you wade through a bunch of oddities, articles, hoaxes, and sub-par parables, analogies and other distractions.
It was good to get it all read, so you don’t just listen to the singles, you made it through the whole album.
Verne loved Poe.
I can understand that now. He has futuristic vision that belies the age he lived in. But, see above.
