 You know a short story is amazing when you can come up with so many different interpretations from the symbolism from something, at face value, is so simple on a narrative sense. To me, Pluto could represent either prejudice or superstition, or how those two are similar in nature, being driven by fear and rage... After reading it, the atmospheric mood to the story and the themes never left me and will probably stick to me forever. I'm speechless, I don't know what else to say, highly recommend!!

I like this a lot. It's short and direct. It reflects on the depravity of man. It features what surley is a ghost cat! Loved it.

Listening to this audiobook was a trip and a half. It may be short, but the punch it packs is mighty. This story had me completely creeped out and the narrator was an excellent choice, as he captured the uneasy approach to madness. 

I will be going through to read all of Edgar Allan Poe's works during this Fall/ Autumn and Winter season. Poe writes in a way that captures the very essence of Autumn and Winter. It's the kind of writing that captivates you.
