Ah, cats. The scourge of the internet. And our hearts.
Poe may well have been a devoted cat lover (owning multiple cats, including a Siamese and a tortoiseshell he called Catterina!) however his short story The Black Cat is a purr-fect masterclass of Gothic madness! This terrifying tale follows an unreliable narrator whose descent into paranoia and violence is marked by the eerie presence of a black cat: an omen of his own destruction. One of Poe’s most haunting works, this is a dark exploration of our mind’s capacity for self-destruction.
Regardless of whether you’re drawn to the story’s macabre symbolism or just love all things dark and mysterious, this tee is perfect for fans of both the cat and the classic.
