Customer Reviews
A good edition, but missing the crucial epilogue
You can find the epilogue online rather easily. See that you do, lest you be as off-put as I was by the abruptness of the end of the book
Cool ending
From almost asphyxiating in a mephitic tenebrous bedraggled orlop to masticating human offals marooned at sea on a capsized hulk to absconding Antarctic troglodytic aboriginals and inhumation, reef your top mast hoist your storm-jib watch your starboard cut your shrouds because Edgar Poe and Arthur Gordon will sail you on a billowy reading frigate you didn’t expect.
What happened to the end?
Might have been a 5 star for Poe, but it needed an ending...
