Story
“El pozo y el péndulo” (título original: The Pit and the Pendulum) es uno de los cuentos más famosos y celebrados de Edgar Allan Poe. Está considerado como uno de los relatos más espeluznantes dentro de la literatura de terror, pues transmite el abandono, la desorientación, el desconcierto y la desesperanza de una persona que sabe que va a morir. En él Poe demuestra su dominio sobre el lenguaje y las técnicas narrativas más efectivas para hacernos sentir partícipes de los agobiantes pensamientos que tiene el torturado.
