The Black Cat

First published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post; "The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe.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.This short work is part of Applewood’s American Roots series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America’s most famous writers and thinkers.
