"The Cask of Amontillado" is probably one of my favorites of Poe’s so far. Creepy and dark in the most wonderful of ways, this is a great one to read around Halloween. Although the Pit and the Pendulum encompasses the terror of torture so nicely, I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t be worse to be bricked up behind a wall and slowly whither and die while your screams are heard by no one. Just when I think Poe can’t get more maudlin and depraved, he surprised me pleasantly once again with a new story and twist. A great addition to his collection, and a must read for any Poe fan.
