The Cask of Amontillado

I just reread this tale as a refresher to help my son with his homework. I've got to say, it gets better every time I read it. My first reading was as a Freshman in high school, just like my son. I can still remember enjoying the story and the chill it gave me when I realized Montresor's intentions. There have been numerous reasons between then and now and I seem to pick up on more and more sinister details each time. Edgar Allan Poe was a genius.
