Once upon an evening dreary
While I watched this weak and weary
With many a quaint and curious hope of yore,
Suddenly there came a tapping
As of brilliance gently rapping, rapping at my cynics core
Darkness there, and visceral gore.
Presently my joy grew stronger
Hesitating then no longer, as I became enthralled
With witty writing and fiendish styling
Compelling brilliance, and something more.
This sordid story still is slithering, still is sitting, in my psyche
With my highest commendation, I do implore
For you to take delight within this Gothic tale
The memory of which shall be lifted, Nevermore...
'A beautifully rendered modern take on the genius of Poe juxtaposed against a thoroughly modern American context, with searing commentary and a superb performances, resulting in a gripping experience. 9.31/10
