This episode deals with one of Bram Stoker’s best short stories - The Squaw. This is a story about a black cat that definitely gives Poe's The Black Cat a run for its money!
George will read the story (with a few sound effects) and hope you are not too grossed out.
- What is The Squaw and why is it considered offensive today in its original form?
- What is an Iron Maiden? (not the metal group)
- How was Bram Stoker influenced by Edgar Allan Poe?
- Why is the cat angry at the humans?
- What does the boorish “American” do to the mother cat?
- What does the mother cat do to the boorish “American” in return?
