Review of “The Black Cat” (1843)

Text

Edgar Allan Poe (writer).

Read in 2022.

Todorovian-fantastic moralism, with more plot but less lyricism than “Ligeia” (1838). It extends “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843) and makes a little more sense, but doesn’t grab me.

References here: “The Imp of the Perverse” (1845).
