“The Black Cat”
Lowkey a shorter and worse “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Similarly you watch the narrator go mad as he continues violence among helpless creatures. Other similarities: obsession with eyes, deliberation of hiding spots, and smugness when allowing detectives to investigate the house.
This story speaks about alcoholism as a drive of madness rather than a general onset of madness shown in the TTH
