About this ebook
"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado" [a.mon.ti.ˈʝa.ðo]) 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.

id be lying if I said this sorta writing isn't the norm for me, but honestly I loved that about it. it's definitely one of those types of reads when you know the mc is making a mistake but they find their actions to be reasonable just. 😊 9/10 recomend

This short story made me fall in love not only with Edgar Allen Poe's stories and writing style, but also with Gothic horror and mystery. Poe is in my top 5 favorite authors, and it all started with this story we had to read in 7th-grade English. I highly recommend reading it and keeping it in your collection. It's a classic and a masterpiece. But I've always been drawn to the macabre and dystopian genres.
