One of the greatest of all horror writers, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) also composed pioneering tales that seized upon the scientific developments of an era marked by staggering change. In this collection of 16 stories, he explores such wide-ranging contemporary themes as galvanism, time travel and resurrection of the dead.

Today we have ghosts that haunted our ancestors, as well as our own modern revenants, and there appears to be no earthly use trying to banish or exorcise them by such a simple strategy as refusing to believe in them. Since man knows that whether or not he has seen a ghost, presently he will become one, and thus he has become fascinated with the subject. Therefore he creates ghosts, not merely in his own image, but according to his dreams of power.

El tiene una especie de manía compulsiva que le lleva a concentrar su atencion en un objeto de manera obsesiva convirtiéndose en lo que los psicólogos llaman monomanía.La otrora bellísima Berenice va a ir perdiendo su belleza porque.

El narrador está convencido del poder de la hipnosis incluso más allá de la vida y para demostrarlo a la ciencia médica pretende hipnotizar a una persona en trance de muerte y así conseguir mantener la conexión con su espíritu a través de la hipnosis incluso después de haber muerto físicamente. ¿Lo conseguirá?

Montressor es tan buen actor, que su buen amigo Fortunato no se da cuenta ni por un momento de lo que hay realmente tras su fachada de amabilidad y cortesía.Aparte de los juegos de palabras que el autor hace con los nombres de los personajes que en realidad representan los dos lados de una moneda. (Montressor – mi tesoro) (Fortunato – afortunado), se produce una constante antítesis entre ellos, mientras Montressor va con máscara negra y atuendo de caballero, Fortunato está vestido a la usanza de la locura del carnaval como un bufón. Mientras el primero está completamente sobrio, el segundo está totalmente ebrio.

Un estudiante está en su habitación abatido, reflexionando sobre lo sólo que le ha dejado su amada Leonora que se ha marchado para no volver. Llama a alguien a la puerta,... el no abre, pasa un tiempo y vuelven a llamar...finalmente abre y no ve nada más que la negrura de la noche, ese símbolo de la soledad infinita en la que Leonora le ha dejado; pero por la puerta entra volando un cuervo y la mente del joven narrador inmediatamente es infundida por su simbología de muerte y maldad.

Disfrutemos de la vida y bailemos, antes que....venga alguien a llamarnos La Mascara de la Muerte Roja En los grandes salones , rodeados por el lujo, los colores... la vida, no todo tiene porque ser diversión, ya que cuando menos nos lo esperemos.... vendrá alguien a visitarnos, que nos hará ver la vida y su devenir... bajo un prisma....un tanto rojo.No estéis tranquilos, porque llegaré....

Legrand se ha ido a vivir a la Isla de Sullivan y allí se dedica a sus actividades favoritas: la lectura y la búsqueda de nuevas especies de insectos, junto con su inseparable criado, Júpiter. El día que fuí a visitarle estaba muy alterado porque acababa de descubrir una especie que parecía completamente desconocida, era un escarabajo que parecía de ..oro Júpiter, que como todos los negros era muy supersticioso, no quería saber nada del "ecarabajo"..... pero su patrón nos iba a embarcar en una aventura , que ninguno de nosotros se podía imaginar.

El Gato Negro este corto pero terrorífico relato , quizás sea de los que mejor expresa las atormentadas batallas que tenían lugar en la mente de Edgar Allan Poe. El papel todo lo soporta y en toda obra se puede encontrar una u otra simbología. Para mí el gato negro que tanto atormenta al protagonista, no es otra cosa que la idea del mal, que constantemente se encuentra en tránsito del subconsciente al consciente y que o bien se tiene una gran fortaleza de voluntad o acaba obligándonos a hacer cosas que pueden ser terribles.
