Summary

'The Tell-Tale Heart' was first published in The Pioneer in January 1843. It is often considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and is one of Poe's best known short stories. 

The tale of murder and terror, told by a nameless homicidal madman, influenced later stream-of-consciousness fiction and helped secure the author’s reputation as master of the macabre. The narrator relates with relish his murder and dismemberment of an old man. Poe’s revelation of the narrator’s madness is a classic study in psychopathology.

Classic Poe

I had read but not listened to this Poe story before, and the horror and suspense of the story translates excellently to audio. Very well performed by Jonathan Keeble.
