for. Throughout the book, the banter between Colin and Hassan is childlike and they use words that definitely contradict an academic writing style. Green also uses foot notes in the novel to further explain jokes and words used which, again, only dumbs down most of the writing making it an unamusing read.

To be more clear, Poe is writing a detective and horror fiction, rather than a comedy or a documentary, this pressure will help to create a lot of ghastliness in the horror fiction, and I have to admit that Peo is master at this. For example, in my favorite short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” in the end of the story, quote “But anything was better than…
