Sinopse:
The Tell-Tale Heart is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s sharpest studies of obsession and guilt. Its narrator insists on his sanity while describing, with unnerving precision, the murder he commits after becoming fixated on an old man’s pale, “vulture-like” eye. The story compresses horror into rhythm and sound: midnight visits, a hidden body, police officers in the room, and a heartbeat that grows louder until certainty collapses. Whether the sound is real or imagined matters less than the pressure it creates inside the narrator’s mind. This edition is in English and preserves Poe’s public-domain text. It is a brief, intense classic for readers interested in psychological horror, unreliable narration, and the way guilt can make silence unbearably loud.
