52SS#4: The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe
The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
A quick google search led me to this website, which appears to be a good source of crime short stories. I was really looking for detective fiction, which this website has plenty of, but I read this creepy Poe story instead.
I couldn’t help but hear Vincent Price’s voice when I read it. I had to look up a few words here and there, but there’s a universal structure to Poe’s stories that makes me think they’d be just as unsettling written in Polish (more so, maybe).
