Cat Horror

Darren Johnson has had a bad run of things lately: His girlfriend has left him and he's fast becoming a gibbering drunk. A pang of inebriated sympathy plucks at his heart strings when he sees a persistent little fella equally down on his luck. He invites him in. Maybe it's the companionship they both need to get through their bad times. Things go from bad to worse and it all seems due to the cat that came in from the cold.

"The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer 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". 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.

A horned monster attacks a woman in her home, a statue comes to life and attempts to strangle a man, and this is just the beginning....

In The Black Cat, Edgar Allan Poe masterfully weaves a tale of psychological horror and guilt. The story follows a man’s descent into madness as he recounts his disturbing actions toward his once-beloved pet, a black cat, and the terrifying consequences that follow. As his grip on reality slips, the lines between the natural and supernatural blur, leading to a chilling conclusion that will haunt the listener long after the story ends.
