It sounds true to the idea of Poe, but it also makes the character unlikable in the story.

I read this more for the nostalgia of reading a book like the ones I read in my youth. A stranger who needs Edmund for purposes of his own! Except for a stranger of the night.A dark, mysterious stranger who flees from demons of his own.who follows Edmund with grim determination through the cold and shadow city, promising to help, but often hindering. His aunt, who went in search of her, is dead. The Old City Lay Dark And Cold.It is night. ![]()
