Haha yes, it’s not just loosely based on the original short story but also combines other parts of unrelated Edgar Allen Poe stories and characters into a single narrative. Take all that and set it in 2023 with some parts of the show taking place as far back as the 1950s. Definitely its own Mike Flanagan-created beast by the end of the day.
Is this from the Netflix series? I teach this story to sophomores, and now I’m thinking we’re reading the wrong story.
