In The Tell-Tale Heart, Edgar Allan Poe delves into the dark depths of guilt and madness. The story follows an unnamed narrator who becomes obsessed with the eye of an old man he lives with, ultimately leading to a horrifying act of murder.

Edgar Allan Poe elevated the gothic story, developed the unreliable narrator, recast psychological terror, and reveled in both the horror and the supernal beauty of death. From Poe's rich, unrivaled imagination comes a collection of his most masterful works, including "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", and, of course, "The Tell-Tale Heart". Each story explores morbid themes of grief, greed, fear, and guilt, and together they embody Poe's grotesque obsessions...even the dread of being buried alive.

Not merely stories of suspense and horror, these are stories of honor and the struggle for justice. Howard Levy's original music complements these horror stories.
