This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection. The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares: Premature burial, ghostly transformation, words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.

It's amazing how we as individuals see life through our lenses of experience and perception. Our fears become an entity in themselves that becomes our reality. Differences in others may seem like barriers or opposition, but in essence we can learn from each other, and ultimately we can see similarities more than our differences. Building walls of the unknown can be overwhelming and impossible.

As with most stories by Poe, there are far deeper meanings as the narrator takes us through his madness. Pluto his cat becomes a symbol of what is wrong in his, the narrator's, life.

"After some time the cat ran very far and stood in front of a still water by the riverside. When he peeped into it, the cat noticed his shadow, but thought it was another cat with the meat in its mouth...." A story for kids.

The Tell-Tale Heart is a clever classical gothic horror story birthed in 1843, by the quintessential short story extraordinaire Edgar Allan Poe. In this thrilling roller-coaster tale, we are granted access to the workings of the narrator’s heart - namely the confessions of the heart as well as the lack of having one. The year 1843 also gave birth to The Black Cat. This is arguably Poe’s darkest literary piece which bleeds the themes of brazen blame gaming, alcoholism, domestic violence, and the inescapability of one reaping what one has sown.
