New Murders in the Rue Morgue

WHEN APES ATTACK

Why haven't we learned that apes don't make good pets? They're dangerous...Especially when you give them Xanax (or razor blades).

...Also, New Murders in the Rue Morgue is a short horror story by Clive Barker. I wish that I could find my copy of it, but I read in it middle school so who knows where it is. Here is what Wikipedia says about it:

New Murders in the Rue Morgue

Lewis is a seventy-three-year-old man who goes to Paris after his friend, Phillipe, is arrested for butchering a young woman. Phillipe eventually commits suicide in his cell after babbling about an orangutan who committed the murder he had been arrested for. Lewis does not believe it until he sees the primate - dressed like a human, completely shaved, and wielding a razor - for himself. The beast had been raised by Philippe, a notorious eccentric, as a strange experiment on Edgar Allan Poe's classic story.

Thanks Wikipedia for remembering story summaries when I cannot! Though, the story is scarier than Wikipedia makes it sound.
