This is a well-crafted horror story, and, like "The Cask of Amontillado", I think this is one of the best revenge tales ever written. The end is grisly, but Poe does such a good job of setting everything up that you root for Hop-Frog every step of the way, and you want the king and his goons to get theirs. Also, there's the great use of sound effects (the grinding of the teeth).
