It was a chilly November afternoon. I had just consummated an unusually hearty dinner, of which the dyspeptic truffe formed not the least important item, and was sitting alone in the dining-room, with my feet upon the fender, and at my elbow a small table which I had rolled up to the fire, and upon which were some apologies for dessert, with some miscellaneous bottles of wine, spirit and liqueur. In the morning I had been reading Glover’s “Leonidas,” Wilkie’s “Epigoniad,” Lamartine’s “Pilgrimage,” Barlow’s “Columbiad,” Tuckermann’s “Sicily,” and Griswold’s “Curiosities”; I am willing to confess, therefore, that I now felt a little stupid. I made effort to arouse myself by aid of frequent Lafitte, and, all failing, I betook myself to a stray newspaper in despair.

A comic nightmare from the master of the macabre.

After a rich dinner, too much wine, and an absurd newspaper story, a skeptical gentleman is visited by the Angel of the Odd—a bottle-and-cask apparition who promises to teach him not to dismiss improbable accidents. What follows is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s funniest and most delightfully strange tales.
