First published in an 1849 edition of The Flag of Our Union, "Hop-Frog" is a revenge tale akin to "The Cask of Amontillado". Told from the perspective of a crippled jester who was taken from his homeland and has been abused by the king he serves, the story focuses on the revenge Hop-Frog takes after the king strikes his fellow countrywoman and performer, the dancer Trippetta.

I love Edgar Allen Pie, all his short stories and short horror are awesome. I'll probably be listening to much more.

Loved this story from when I was in college. A tale of revenge we think of regarding bullies. Plays like a movie in my mind; cliche I know but true. Imagery is amazing.
