Produktbeschreibung

What if the thing you feared most was your own conscience?

In The Black Cat, Edgar Allan Poe explores the terrifying descent of a man driven to madness by his own violent impulses. What begins as a story of domestic contentment quickly devolves into one of cruelty, murder, and the eerie appearance of a feline specter that seems to know too much. As the narrator spirals into delusion and horror, readers are taken on a journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche-where guilt becomes a monster, and justice is never far behind.

This modern edition captures Poe's signature blend of gothic suspense and psychological realism, making the story more accessible while retaining its haunting power. The Black Cat is a compact masterpiece that shows how fragile the line is between sanity and insanity-and how the soul, once corrupted, cannot easily escape judgment.
