📱 eBook en inglés THE ANGEL OF THE ODD

In England, fans of Charles Dickens were gripped by the four ghosts that visited Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol to get him to change his mean ways.

At the same time, Edgar Allen Poes Angel of the Odd, made out of a keg and wine bottles, drops in on the narrator, who does not believe in strange occurrences.

He chases the angel away and has a booze-induced afternoon nap.

When he wakes, his house is on fire. A ladder appears at the window and down he climbs - only to collide with a pig, fracturing his arm in the fall.

Things cannot get worse, can they? They sure can! For he is given the elbow by his would-be wife, who notices that he wears a wig because it was burnt off in the blaze.

The mishaps just keep coming. But when the Angel of the Odd reappears, will the poor man swallow his pride and halt the barrage of blows?

Angel of the Odd is the ideal read for those interested in Poes lesser-known works.
