The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe
3.0

Don't really know how to rate this one because it's so disturbing to me personally but I think that just means it works??

The narrator claims to love animals, but his anger management issues cause him to lash out at them with often deadly consequences. Will they take revenge??

While the story is well written and dark as all hell, I do think there is a bit of a disconnect between the narrator's actions and described motivations- I'm not sure that there's enough depth to his personality for me to believe in his sadistic wackiness.
