## Description

Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of horror.

Review: Edgar A Poe was considered the finest short story writer of his time - Edgar A Poe was considered the finest short story writer of his time. The suspense builds up mostly because Montresor is obviously insane and we are all scared of someone who is not quite "normal". Very good story.
Review: Good short story - Picked this up as I havn't read any Poe in a long time, enjoyed reading it and will go on to read more.

This short story scores 10/10 for creepiness and disturbing character behaviour. How far would you trust someone leading you down a dark, seemingly endless, vault in search of booze? Right from the beginning, we know the narrator is out for revenge. He’s thought about this. Fortunato, the man who has insulted the narrator, sees himself as a wine expert. The narrator uses this to his advantage. He tells Fortunato about a cask of wine he has. The cask of Amontillado might be fake and he’s worried he’s been duped. Fortunato offers his expertise and asks to go to his vaults and sample the wine. Not wishing to burden Fortunato, the narrator tells him not to come but he is using reverse psychology to entice Fortunato to the vault. I love gothic horror. The pacing is fast. The tension and conflict are dramatic. This short story ticked those boxes. The narrator is beyond devious. It felt uncomfortable, thinking he was clever. But that’s fine because it’s only a story. So the message I got was ‘be careful who you insult,’ also ‘don’t go to dark places with over obliging men.’ I am lucky that I am an untrusting, suspicious sort of gal. It does make you think, though, about the way some people use others to make themselves seem important. Totally recommend this read. It will take you less than 30 minutes but will stay with you forever.
