The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form... As may naturally be expected of a form so closely connected with primal emotion, the horror-tale is as old as human thought and speech themselves.

The narrator is in deep sorrow, mourning his lost love, and is slowly sinking into despair when he is visited by a talking raven from whom he seeks comfort and hope, but whose only utterance is a single portentous word - "nevermore."

エドガー・アラン・ポーといえば江戸川乱歩がペンネームの由来にしたというほど、推理小説の祖とされていますが、今回の作品「黒猫」は同じミステリーのジャンルでも日本語にすれば怪奇小説に分類されます。怪奇小説といっても妖怪や幽霊が出てくるホラーなどではなく、自分の内面が壊れていく様を淡々と独白調で書かれた作品です。 その独特の恐怖感を、ことのは出版では、初登場の朗読家、黒木仁が非常に渋い声で淡々と読んでいます。 (C)アイ文庫 「ことのは出版オーディオブック作品一覧はhttp://www.kotonoha.co.jpにて」

Poe narra la espiral descendente de un hombre que, tras sucumbir al alcoholismo, perpetra horrores inimaginables contra su antes amado gato y su esposa. Un segundo felino, extrañamente similar al primero, emerge como un recordatorio fantasmal de sus pecados, marcándolo con una culpa insoportable. La presencia constante del gato, con una mancha peculiar en su pelaje, simboliza el ineludible castigo de la conciencia, culminando en un clímax espeluznante.
