Description:

The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe is a dark tale of guilt, madness, and the supernatural. First published in 1843 in The Saturday Evening Post, it tells the story of a man whose descent into alcoholism and cruelty leads to shocking acts of violence, culminating in a horrifying confrontation with a seemingly malevolent feline.

Told through the first-person perspective of the increasingly unreliable narrator, the story explores themes of conscience, obsession, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked human depravity. Poe’s mastery of psychological horror and gothic atmosphere makes this a timeless classic.

This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, brings to life the creeping tension, psychological dread, and macabre details that define Poe’s work. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.

Listeners should be prepared for a disturbing meditation on guilt, horror, and the dark impulses that lurk within the human psyche.
