"The Black Cat is a dark story as it has themes about alcoholism and murder. The
narrator starts the story telling us that we may think he's crazy, but he's not, and,
instead, is a victim of unfortunate circumstances. He then goes on to tell a story
about how he blinded his pet cat, hanged the same cat, had a different cat (who
looked exactly like the first cat) follow him home, tried to kill that cat, but instead
killed his wife, whose body he hides in the wall of his basement. Yeah, he's not
crazy!)
