In 'The Pit and the Pendulum,' one of his most famous short works, a condemned man is judged guilty by the Spanish Inquisition and sentenced to die. Locked away in a pitch-black cell, he soon discovers a pit in the center of the room, a watery grave at its base. Above him hangs a large, razor-sharp pendulum. As the man is slowly tortured, he must face either the pit or the pendulum. Proceeds from sale of this title go to Reach Out and Read, an innovative literacy advocacy organization.
