* IronMaiden: Stoker's short story ''[[http://www.bramstoker.org/stories/03guest/03squaw.html The Squaw]]'' is focused on the iron maiden (referred to as "Iron Virgin" in the text) exhibited in Nuremberg Castle (the device really existed; it was destroyed by the Allied bombing of 1944). Its protagonist is an American tourist who visits the castle and asks the guide to briefly almost close the iron maiden on him, to know how a victim of this device would have felt. [[spoiler:Before entering the castle, he unintentionally killed a group of kittens next to their mothers, by throwing a stone. While testing the iron maiden, the guide is attacked by the resentful cat and lets go of the rope which held the device's doors open; the heavy doors thus slammed shut, killing the protagonist.]]
