The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe

phoenix2's review

3.0

The Black Cat is a short creepy story that is sinister from start to finish, as the main character and narrator spiral out of control.

Didn't like the story at all. I found it to be quite similar to 'The Cask of Amontillado' at some point. I also do not necessarily like the way that Poe writes his stories.

(My black cat and I will come spook you, Poe!)

There's just something so enticing about Poe's stories. While the psychology isn't exactly realistic, it's interesting and presents horrific ideas in such a wonderfully creepy way. His writing is the only one that really creeps me out, but in a way that I enjoy it.
