Following the success of the Flanaganverse, especially its most recent series, The Fall of the House of Usher, Netflix should definitely consider adapting yet another of Edgar Allan Poe’s works. The prolific author wrote dozens of Romantic and gothic short stories and poems that could easily inspire the next streaming platform hit.Stories like “Berenice,” “The Gold-Bug,” or “Morella” have everything to become great Netflix series of different genres, like horror, science fiction, or even adventure. Some of their details may need to be adapted for modern sensibilities, but Poe’s work is flexible enough for this — as Flanagan already proved. Hopefully, Netflix will consider some of these stories for a new show soon.”The Imp of the Perverse” is a clever essay-like story about self-destructive tendencies and guilt seen through a paranormal lens — this isn’t uncommon in television. In fact, Mike Flanagan himself tends to allegorize supernatural phenomena to explain human nature. “The Imp of the Perverse” would be a great way to discuss these topics using a great horror story.
