Kritik

Remarkably vivid and disquieting . . . Whether this beloved 19th-century novella retains the power to frighten you depends on the degree to which you ve ever questioned your own senses or doubted your sanity. . . . A classic of Gothic literature, prized for its ambiguity and sophistication. The New York Times
