How does one create suspense? Poe creates suspense in "The Cask of Amontillado" through very careful techniques which many have studies over the years but which only a few have mastered.
Mysteries, horror films, thrillers and tales of all sorts over the years have employed Poe's techniques to create suspense, but it is difficult to find an earlier master. Some could argue that some of Shakespear's tragedies hint at suspense, Othello, Macbeth, etc. but in reality the end is known from the beginning and he continued to employ the techniques of Greeks.
