Auguste Dupin, the other two being The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Mystery of Marie Roget. These stories are considered important forerunners of the modern detective story. The Method Poes detective, Dupin, uses to solve the crime was quite innovative. He tried to identify with the criminal and to "think like he would."

This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection. The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe.

Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.

El gato negro es un cuento de horror, publicado en 1843 y considerado uno de los más espeluznantes de la historia de la literatura policiaca. El gato negro es uno de los cuentos siniestros más conocidos de Poe, así como uno de sus grandes relatos psicológicos. La combinación de ambos elementos, horror y psicología, parece conducir directamente a la expresión terror psicológico, que hoy sabemos inspirada en la singularidad artística de Poe y que podría definirse como aquella fórmula literaria que aspira a conjugar en una síntesis superior miedo, enajenación y arte.

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.

"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado") is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement.
