Really solid anthology- I think I enjoyed every story (except the House of Usher retelling just because I'm not really into crypto/hacking/computer stuff). I really appreciated the normalization of queerness and all the different cultures represented authentically (Caribbie, Filipino, etc.)

Obviously since these are Poe retellings they are about dark stuff like murder but here are some more specific content warnings for stories that need them:

Night-Tide: Homophobia, suicide attempt (?)

The Glittering Death: Kidnapping, drugging, torture, violence against girls

Changeling: Abuse, implied SA

Lygia: Cancer
