Berenice — A Tale. Misery is manifold. The wretchedness of earth is multiform. Overreaching the wide horizon like the rainbow, its hues are as various as the hues of that arch, as distinct too, yet as intimately blended. Overreaching the wide horizon like the rainbow!

"The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1843. An unnamed narrator suffering with alcoholism has a strong affection for pets, until he perversely turns to abusing them. In a drunken rage, he hangs his beloved black cat from a tree. He soon finds another black cat but develops a hatred for it as well.

エドガー・アラン・ポーといえば江戸川乱歩がペンネームの由来にしたというほど、推理小説の祖とされていますが、今回の作品「黒猫」は同じミステリーのジャンルでも日本語にすれば怪奇小説に分類されます。怪奇小説といっても妖怪や幽霊が出てくるホラーなどではなく、自分の内面が壊れていく様を淡々と独白調で書かれた作品です。 その独特の恐怖感を、ことのは出版では、初登場の朗読家、黒木仁が非常に渋い声で淡々と読んでいます。 (C)アイ文庫 「ことのは出版オーディオブック作品一覧はhttp://www.kotonoha.co.jpにて」
