"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado") is a short story, written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book.The story is set in a nameless Italian city in an unspecified year (possibly sometime during the eighteenth century) and concerns the deadly revenge taken by the narrator on a friend who he claims has insulted him.

I didn't seem to learn my lesson. Do not listen to Edgar Allan Poe audiobook when you think you are alone! It will give you arrhythmia. For sure.Yeah, I did that (again) during lunch break, it was quite, so I took my phone, put my earphones and listen to this, The Cask of Amontadillo (I read The Sherlockian a while ago and it was mention by ACD character, hence 'curious'). Closed my eyes... and listened.Arrhythmia!!The story itself was rather straight point. Fortnato did something that insultThe Cask of Amontillado (1846) is a brief story by Edgar Allan Poe. It is told by an unreliable narrator, just as "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-tale Heart" are. It includes a favourite theme of Poe, which he had also used in "The Fall of the House of Usher" (1839) and "The Black Cat" (1846) - that of (view spoiler)[walling up alive. (hide spoiler)] The story is entirely about revenge, the bottle of sherry merely being a device to entrap the victim. Although there is a theory that the story is
A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from thethroat of the chained form, seemed to thrust me violently back. For abrief moment I hesitated--I trembled. Unsheathing my rapier, I beganto grope with it about the recess; but the thought of an instantreassured me. I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs,and felt satisfied. I reapproached the wall; I replied to the yells ofhim who clamoured. I re-echoed--I aided--I surpassed them in volumeand in strength. I did

The opening sentence grabs the reader: "The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge." It is carnival season and Montressor, the narrator, has purchased a cask of Amontillado that he wants Fortunato to evaluate.

My eyes are heavy. I am trying to sleep. Sleep is evading me. Restlessness is here. This is a new place. I have come here for some time. Its an outskirt of a small town in northern India. I will stay here for some days. Its night. Its almost 11 o clock at night. Here is silence everywhere. Complete tranquility. Just beyond there is a concrete factory. Some machine is still working there. A faint grinding sound is reaching my room. There is no other sound outside. Its dark. Dead dark. .No Wait
