The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe

A man, once kind and gentle, descends into madness after developing a violent hatred for his beloved pet cat. As his cruel actions escalate, a sense of doom begins to loom over him, culminating in a horrifying act that seals his fate. But the past does not stay buried, and his darkest secret refuses to remain hidden. Poe weaves a tale of psychological horror and guilt, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur. This macabre story lingers in the reader’s mind long after the final sentence.
