I think Dahl is a lot morbider than Poe, in a lot of ways.
Maybe it's because the most disturbing of his stories remain fairly plausible. Poe is all blood and gore. I deal fine with blood and gore. Even The Fall of the House of Usher wasn't so bad as I thought it'd be.
THESE. the more I reread them, the more disturbed I am.

Date: 2006-12-16 10:44 pm (UTC)Well Dahl isn't openly blood and gorey, like descriptive-wise. He's kind of more subtle about it, while Poe's certainly NOT. Poe is one disturbed guy oO
oh. whatever.
