Edgar Allan Poe: The Telltale Heart: A creepy story of murder and madness

by Edgar Allan Poe Narrated by David Lawrence

Overview

This creepy story is considered by many to be the most grisly and terrifying of all of Poe's writings. It is told by an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of the narrator's sanity while simultaneously describing a murder the narrator committed. The victim was an old man with a filmy pale blue "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it. The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, attempting the perfect crime, complete with dismembering the body in the bathtub and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator's actions result in hearing a thumping sound, which the narrator interprets as the dead man's beating heart.
