5.0 out of 5 stars The Black Cat is Pleasantly Eerie and Strangely Satisfying, January 6, 1998
By A Customer
An almost cryptic tale about an alcoholic who goes mad and attacks his cat, the start of several horrid events that happen in this short story. What makes this tale the more creepier; Poe himself was an alcoholic.

3.0 out of 5 stars "These events ... have destroyed me...", December 27, 2008
By 
Akethan (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Black Cat (Paperback)
A bad end well-deserved... but - the Tell-Tale Heart builds itself more soundly and looks deeper in the mind of the man/murderer. Here is a man who simply states he's lost his sense of humor for the world - and his companion black cat is is punching bag and victim. It's sudden replacement - his growing madness and anger - and the next unfortunate victim - all add up to nothing surprising and certainly far less than the opening lines invite you to imagine.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite story by Edgar Allan Poe., May 18, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Black Cat (Paperback)
This book is about an alcoholic and what happens to his life after he gets hooked on "the drink." It's a very morbid and suspenseful story
