Can a guilty conscience be trusted to tell the truth?

Join me for a full reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat,” a chilling story of cruelty, obsession, and a man’s attempt to explain the unthinkable.

I originally recorded it for Halloween and also used it as an audio narration sample back in 2017. Now I've added some images to go along with the story. Watch along or simply settle in and listen.

Content note: This story includes animal cruelty, violence, and murder and may not be suitable for children.
