Answer:
The theme, simply put, is fear and its effect on one's mind - particularly a fear of the unknown.
Explanation:
"The Premature Burial" is a short story about one man's extreme fear of being buried alive. He struggles from an internal conflict (him vs. his mind), as he obsessively imagines himself being buried alive over and over.

Overall, this sentence seems correct to me.
