"Galás' rendition of 'The Black Cat' is as intense an excursion into the ambiance of homocidal insanity as one is likely to encounter this side of a jail cell. Even more gratifying to Poe scholars is the fact that Galas groks Poe's bizarre but highly disciplined mentality. GK Chesterton said that madhouses were not stocked so much with empty-head people as with people who think too much" -- Michael A.Hoffman, Amazon.com
