In The Pit and the Pendulum, Edgar Allan Poe plunges readers into the claustrophobic nightmare of a man sentenced to death by the Spanish Inquisition. Stripped of identity and sight, he awakens in pitch-black confinement. A yawning pit lies in wait. A razor-sharp pendulum swings ever closer. The walls move. Time dissolves. Terror reigns.
This powerful modern translation reimagines Poe's harrowing classic for today's readers, preserving the pulse-pounding tension and dark philosophical themes that have haunted readers for generations.
