Short Story Sunday #2: The Black Cat

Edgar Allan Poe is known for his haunting tales, and this is no exception. The Black Cat is a first-person narrative that details the final days and final threads of a man's sanity. He is married to a beautiful woman, who owns a beautiful cat, but something about the two of them begins to drive him crazy, beginning with the pesky feline.

In this story, our leading man dreams of ways to draw the cat into its own demise. I will let you read it for yourself to learn about the man's, the cat's, and the wife's fate, but know that it is a stunningly chilling story.
