Reading prose of Edgar Allan Poe for the first time is such a beautiful experience. Reading short stories in order they were arranged in in a publibaction gave me first Berenice, Ligeia, Morella, The Fall of The House of Usher and the likes one gets a strong feeling of prevalent themes of death, being buried alive, transcending death in one way or another, all wrapped in a dark, gloomy and misty atmosphere.
Later King Pest mixes this mood with vulgar comedy while The Angel of the Odd and The Spectacles are full on comedic (The Spectacles are one of the funniest pieces of fiction I have ever read).
Then you read The Gold-Bug, The Murders in Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt and The Purloined Letter all of which show you the skill of a brilliant mind (in the latter three cases mind of Monsieur Dupin) uncovering a mystery.
Something that surprised me the most was the sheer range of those stories, the mastery over both comedy and tragedy. To experience that range for the first time is to be overwhelmed by literary genius of the author.

Creeptober Day 29 - Trick or Treat
Tumblr media
"Profane varlet!" said the president, now turning his attention to the worthy Hugh, "profane and execrable wretch!—we have said, that in consideration of those rights which, even in thy filthy person, we feel no inclination to violate, we have condescended to make reply to thy rude and unseasonable inquiries. We nevertheless, for your unhallowed intrusion upon our councils, believe it our duty to mulct thee and thy companion in each a gallon of Black Strap—having imbibed which to the prosperity of our kingdom—at a single draught—and upon your bended knees—ye shall be forthwith free either to proceed upon your way, or remain and be admitted to the privileges of our table, according to your respective and individual pleasures."
This was an -uhm....tricky one to pick :P
The only two stories of Poe's fitting that kinda prompt that came to mind were either The Cask of Amontillado or number three of my top three favorites, King Pest. The latter was the one I ended up with :P
Probably the closest Poe ever got towards comedy - although it is of course darkest dark comedy :)

I think my overall dislike for the acid theory is how cruel in makes everyone for this one soul crushing instance and then never again.
Like for the theory to work Spamton is often depicted as being thrown in, usually by the order of the Queen for some reason or another. No matter how you viewed big shot Spamton he was certainly not anywhere near as heinous as current Spamton and no where near what deserved being thrown into acid. So he missed rent and was being evicted or he looked in the basement but being thrown in acid???? That’s some real disproportionate punishment. It’s so cruel and callous and just doesn’t fit the narratives of the other characters.
As impulsive as I interpret the Queen, I doubt she’d just throw one of her subjects, especially one so high profile, into a pool of acid to suffer and presumably burn alive in a tragic death, nor can I imagine Swatch or the Swatchlings to just go along with something so brutal. It just doesn’t make sense from what we see of them in the game, the pool to them seems to be more a fixture rather than something they genuinely use. If it was his benefactor or Tenna I could believe it more but seeing as that’s rarely agreed upon I just can’t see it as plausible.
The acid theory is angsty and terrible but maybe that’s why I’m not the biggest fan. It just seems overly mean and disturbing just not be played with or have the intensity of the act carried over into the chapter in anyway later on. Corruption truthers for life.
