    Not bad for a guy who married his 13-year-old cousin when he was 26. Men are the best. Did he invent detective fiction? At least I can't remember reading earlier examples.

    My new favorite short story by Edgar Allen Poe!

    First it was pretty confusing, but after a few pages I was invested and had to know who did it. The end really surprised me.
