…Because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, an enveloped the victim.” This very spooky, chilling quote is from the short story, Tell Tale Heart, written by the famously eerie poet, Edgar Allen Poe. Tell Tale Heart is about a man who drives himself crazy over a light blue eye that belongs to an innocent old man. The deranged man also claims he can hear the thud of the old man’s beating heart. Even after he has rid himself of the Evil Eye, the beating of the artery pounds in the lunatic’s head, and drives him so crazy that he admits his horrific deed to the cops. Poe includes fantastic imagery, a spine-chilling climax, and a shocking surprise ending in this mysterious short story.
