Rolf Brandt’s drawing *The Black Cat* shows a dark, spooky scene for an Edgar Allan Poe story. Made around 1945, it’s a simple drawing but full of eerie mood. Brandt came to London from Hamburg in the 1930s. He trained as an actor but loved drawing and collages, even mixing in Dada and Surrealist ideas. This piece is part of a creepy anthology called *Come Not Lucifer*. Look up the artist: Brandt, Rolf.
