I don't think Cask of Amontillado had much atmosphere either. It was just very...there.
I also realised that although I know of Jekyll and Hyde, I'd never read the story and had no idea how the narrative was structured. That one I liked, although I can't imagine what it would have been like unspoiled.

Just be glad none of your friends' little brothers paid a dollar to see your underwear that night.
I have so many unmatched trouser socks that it's kinda freaking me out. This is some sort of payback for me very rarely losing single normal socks, I bet.
