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?
