Me gusta mucho de esta antología en concreto que tiene mucha variedad en los relatos dentro de Poe y no es solo de terror, que es lo más conocido.

Dicen que este es de esos libros en los que hay que entrar sin saber nada... A mí eso normalmente me da igual, pero puedo decir que he ido a ciegas y ha sido una gran experiencia.

I loved it, don't get me wrong, but there's A LOT of miscommunication. The rest of it was really cute, though. Especially Mary Georgina.

Loved this anthology, here's a little comment about each tale:

• The wrong foot:
  A fun and alternative version of the Cinderella story. Great read.
   
• Undead Philosophy 101:
  I was expecting a different kind of ending; I liked it though.
   
• A Cup of Comfort:
  It was so cozy, but I didn't really like the resolution.
   
• Dreaming Harry:
  I loved Elizabeth.
   
• Offerings:
  A cute, cozy story. I don't need more than that.
   
• Dancing in the Dark:
  I love when children are well constructed characters.
   
• The Disastrous Début of Agatha Tremain:
  I love how the darkness and hope mox in this story.
   
• The Wildness Inside:
  Beautiful tale about grief, pain and hope.
   
• The Art of Deception:
  That was a fun ride, loved it.
   
• Midnight:
  Kinda sad, but really well written.
   
• Clasp Hands:
  Kids being kids and (found) family. I thought it was gonna go a darker route, I'm glad it didn't.
   
• Crow:
  I didn't expect a crow to be a symbol of self-confidence in this way, it's great.
   
• True Names:
  "I married a man, I took his name, but I'm still me" is a nice resolution.
   
• Good Neighbors:
  This is the beginning of a love story with lots of stubbornness, miscommunication and fun. (Check the full collection, it's great).
   
• Love, Your Flatmate:
  I love the trope of going from despising each other to love. Especially when they're not actually hurting each other at first.
   
• House of Secrets:
  Dark, but cute and sweet.
