This was an okay story. Trigger warning for animal cruelty. I know it’s a short story but I wish Poe had shown more of a reason behind the MC doing what he did with apparently no similar prior instances. An insinuation that the POV character was unreliable would have been a good way to do this.

I think it's an interesting short story, playing on the horror but saying it's only some "mere" events, as if it can happen to everyone. It also plays on the supernatural side of the horror, which was well-used.
