Tales of Mystery and Terror

Tales of Mystery and Terror by Edgar Allan Poe is a wonderful book with four tales of madness and revenge. You will hear the pounding of a dead man's heart and listen to a man's cry of terror as he is being buried alive. In the first story, a man got a fever and it made him become a madman, though he believed it sharpened his senses. He lived with an old man who had an eye that resembled one of a vulture. This disturbed the mad man. One night he decided to do the unspeakable and slay the old man.
I like that this book has more realistic situations than most other mystery books I've read. It shows the madman's thoughts as if he were narrating the story. In the ‘Cask of Amontillado’ Montresor swears to take revenge against Fortunado, who always tries to show his superiority. Montresor takes Fortunado to his wine cellar to see if the cask of amontillado was real. But that was part of Montresor's plot. He took him to his dungeon, to not be seen by human eyes again. I highly recommend this book to whomever enjoys classics, horror, or eerie happenings.
