Hop-Frog is Edgar Allan Poe’s macabre tale of cruelty, revenge, and fiery justice — a gothic masterpiece of poetic irony and horror.
In the grotesque court of a sadistic king, Hop-Frog, a crippled dwarf and court jester, endures humiliation and torment. Forced to entertain a court that mocks his deformity and his friend Trippetta, Hop-Frog endures indignity after indignity — until he conceives a terrifying plan to turn the tables in a final performance none will ever forget.
With its themes of vengeance, madness, and poetic justice, Hop-Frog delivers the chilling beauty of Poe’s dark imagination. A short story with lasting impact, it is perfect for fans of horror, gothic literature, and morally complex tales of retribution.
