Han hittades yrande p en gata i Baltimore, ikldd vad som tros vara ngon annans klder. Det finns mnga teorier om vad som kan ha varit ddsorsaken. Poe r mest knd fr sina skrck- och ventyrshistorier, men rknas ven som en fregngare i detektiv- och science fictiongenrerna. Den svarta katten r en av hans allra mest knda noveller. Den publicerades 1843. Lstid 10 min. versttare: Nils Holmberg versttare: Nils Holmberg

I see the word BLACK, and I think of “The Black Cat“ by EA Poe. I'll be reading a book of his selected stories (one of which is TBC), so I'll earn 15 more pts. for team #HHC. 🖤🐈‍⬛🖤

1. I am Beyoncé always (The Office reference ?). Really I just wanted a punny name and my friends call me Becky With The Good Hair because of my curls.

2. Thrillers/horror and literary fiction

3. Definitely Autumn

4. I‘m a BIG skeptic, but open to the possibility

5. US of A

6. I‘m a single mom of two and a lead engineer at Boeing, active in the PTA, and make my kids‘ Halloween costumes every year!

Legitimately a disturbing Poe story! I once visited the Poe house in Baltimore that has the basement that allegedly inspired this story.

Quite horrific in its animal cruelty. Poe's talent for creating suspense and tension is clearly done. A man clearly with a penchant for violence

Started the month off with a short story from my Chilling Ghost Short Stories compilation. My reading buddy is well suited to the story. 🐈‍⬛ 🙀

The animal brutality in this one is horrendous. Think Dr. Doolittle gone mad. There is a whole lot of self-delusion and attempts at justification here, and I always love the supernatural elements Poe throws on top of his explorations of human behavior.

I finally finished all the prompts for the Basic Witch level of #ReadLikeHellathon. In the Black Cat, a man kills his cat, and it comes back to haunt him. In a moment of rage, he commits another murder and hides the body in the wall. The cat gives away the location of the body and seals his fate.

I recently read this story with a student I was tutoring over the summer, and it is actually pretty creepy! The narrator is obsessed with a #blackcat.

Fun fact: I have visited several of Poe‘s residences in Baltimore, Virginia, and Philadelphia. According to the tour guide, Poe‘s basement in this Philadelphia house was the inspiration for this story!

The Poe Museum in Richmond, VA has two black cats that reside on the property, named Edgar and Pluto (Pluto is the name of the cat in his short story The Black Cat). I was able to get a picture of Edgar enjoying the beautiful fall day in the gardens. #Scaratlon #TeamStoker #ChillingPhotoChallenge Day 4: Black Cat (+1 pt earned)

Day 3 #FallIsBooked and #BlackCat
This is our family cat. I adopted her 9 years ago for a Valentine's gift for my husband (he was my boyfriend back then) When he decided to go away for college, we asked his grandparents to watch her for us. They fell so deeply in love with her and her with them that she became their cat. ❤️

Not book related, buuut tomorrow is my little cats 5th birthday 🙀. She‘s not the most affectionate member of my family (my shadow yes, but affectionate nope). Though she does hang out while I read and listens to my problems when I come home from work after a hard day. I honestly don‘t know what I would do without her.
