В оповіданні Яма та маятник (1840) розказано про боротьбу нелюдської жорстокості з людським розумом. Сюжет нагадав сповільнену кінозйомку. Завдання Едгара По - проаналізувати поведінку людини у хвилину катування. Людина засуджена. У момент оголошення смертельного вироку вона втратила свідомість. Засуджений почував себе у кромішній темряві склепу, він переживав страх. Едгар Аллан По зобразив очікування в муках смерті як найбільш витончений вид катування. Жертва лежала на дні склепу, зв'язана по руках і ногах, а над головою на стелі висів зловіщий маятник - сокира. Загибель породила жах.

Зачарований натовпом поза вікном, він розглядає, як різні люди поводяться.

The Sanctuary, a story of Satanism. "There was a thump on the ceiling overhead as if someone had fallen, and without a word we ran upstairs into Francis's bedroom.
