Get set for true terror in one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous short stories.
We enter the mind of a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition. The dank prison room is without light and he begins to feel his way around the walls. Later, as a little light enters the room, he discovers two things: a deep and dangerous pit in the centre into which he had almost fallen when he explored the cell blindly, and a scythe-like pendulum suspended from the ceiling which is slowly descending as it swings back and forth with his body as its target. You'll feel his terror.
Contents:
- The Pit and the Pendulum
- The Black Cat
- The Tell-Tale Heart
- The Premature Burial
