Great Poe story + exquisite building = wonderful Halloween tale! The
lighting you used for the pictures in the catacombs is very effective. I
like the trowel too.

Thanks. I’m so glad that trowel makes sense. I had no idea what I was going
to use for that and almost just replaced “trowel” with “hammer and chisel” to
use a hammer and a screwdriver, but I was looking for odd elements and came
across the triangular sign. I was worried that noone would know what he was
holding.

Good heavens, I’m glad you kept it! Poe’s trowel is a quintessential element of
foreshadowing in early American short-fiction. To omit it would be to lose an
important artifact of Poe’s work.
Additionally, I like the creative way you overcame the obstacle, and you’ve
provided other builders with a new tool for any MOCs that include brickwork or
masonry in progress. Very nice!
On the whole, your portrayal of the story is very well done. Great work on a
classic tale of revenge!
Dave!
