About The Tell-Tale Heart
Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Tell-Tale Heart was first published in Pioneer magazine in 1843, and helped to cement its author’s reputation as a master of the horror genre. This first-person narrative draws the reader into the mind of an unnamed protagonist whose already-fragile mental health rapidly deteriorates, resulting in an unstoppable homicidal urge. The narrator’s descent into madness is made all the more chilling by their insistence on their own sanity, resulting in a deeply disturbing tale of madness and all-consuming guilt.
