Преждевременное погребение

Poe's exploration of mortality feels deeply personal yet universal. I wonder what personal experiences or societal fears influenced this tale.

The story's tension kept me on edge, but I also felt a strange fascination with the protagonist’s paranoia. How did others experience that mix of horror and curiosity?

His vivid imagery and somber tone create such a haunting mood. I'm curious whether this style was typical for him or intentionally heightened here to evoke a stronger emotional response.
