Bonus Sunday 1: "The Telltale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe

 2-273

Summary: Murder! Guilt! Spooky!

Bonus: Christopher Lee

Commentary: Got back from a convention, grabbing a quickie. As anyone whose followed the blog since the beginning will know, I like Poe quite a bit. I read "The Telltale Heart" years ago (undergrad?) and it's a bit different than I remember. I thought there was more of a reason to the murder, and the cops were there for longer. On the topic of Poe, I saw (supposedly) the actual raven that inspired "The Raven" at a library in Philadelphia once. Seems questionable, but cool either way. 3/5 solid story. Very effective for such a short story.
