Publisher Description
"The Black Cat" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart".[2] In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.

Amazing!
This was my first Edgar Allen Poe story that I've read & it was a great introduction to his work & I loved how the story was about the psychology of guilt & hatred. 10/10
Ending was very abrupt
I liked the prose and it was very over the top but I liked that Like this was pure evil and very descriptive about it in an almost funny way. Wish it had a more conclusive ending where the cat comes back to personally hang him or something. That would be lols
