The Black Cat. Novellas and Stories

Edgar Allan Poe is a legend of American literature. It seems as though all its genres and directions grew out of his work. It is his dark, mysterious figure that passes through all the masterpieces born in the New World. His own works are full of gloom and mysticism. Mysterious corpses, enigmatic beasts, the Sphinx, King Pest, and the Devil himself — these are his favorite heroes. Yet every now and then, through all this devilry, his kind, roguish smile shines through. Such is the enigmatic creator of "The Black Cat"!
