First published within an 1842 literary twelve-monthly The Gift idea: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843, "The Pit and the Pendulum" takes place through the Spanish Inquisition and employs the plight of any prisoner in a cell which has a pit and a pendulum. Unlike many of Poe's short reviews, "The Pit and the Pendulum" will not rely on any supernatural elements to inspire dread but instead uses the narrator's heightened sensory encounters to take action.
