Es ist wahr! Nervös, schrecklich nervös war ich und bin ich noch; aber weshalb soll ich wahnsinnig sein? Mein Übel hatte meine Sinne nur geschärft, nicht zerstört oder abgestumpft. Vor allem war mein Gehörsinn außerordentlich empfindlich geworden. Ich hörte alle Dinge, die im Himmel und auf der Erde vor sich gingen, und auch vieles, was in der Hölle geschah.

Wir waren auf dem Gipfel der höchsten Klippe angelangt. Einige Minuten schien der Alte zu erschöpft, um zu sprechen. „Vor drei Jahren noch“, sagte er schließlich, „hätte ich diesen Weg geradeso leicht und ohne Ermüdung gemacht wie der jüngste meiner Söhne; aber dann hatte ich ein Erlebnis, wie wohl noch kein Sterblicher vor mir hatte – wenigsten wie keiner es überlebte, um davon zu berichten – und die sechs Stunden tödlichen Entsetzens, die ich damals durchmachte, haben mich an Leib und Seele gebrochen.

"Das schwatzende Herz" ist ein raffiniertes Stück innere Seele. Eine Schauergeschichte tief aus dem Inneren Herzen, welches eine dunkle Seele verbirgt. Es ist eine sich in der Intensität des agierenden Charakters aufbauende Geschichte, welche wahrscheinlich auch analytisch genutzt werden kann um die tiefen Gedanken eines Psychopathen besser verstehen zu können.

"The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.

In Edgar Allan Poe's short and turbulent life, he laid the groundwork for the genre of modern horror and, almost as an aside, invented the modern detective story.

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.

Edgar Allan Poe's early literary works were poetic, but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals till in January 1845, The Raven was published and became an instant classic. Poe was also an early proponent of the detective story and announced his entry to this genre with the classic short story 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'.

"King Pest: An Allegory" is a fantastic account by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) who with excellent humor narrates a night of terror, taking on the subject of epidemics, in this case the Plague.

The narrator presents the facts of the extraordinary case of his friend Ernest Valdemar, which have incited public discussion. He is interested in mesmerism, a pseudoscience involving bringing a patient into a hypnagogic state by the influence of animal magnetism, a process that later developed into hypnotism. He points out that, as far as he knows, no one has ever been mesmerized at the point of death, and he is curious to see what effects mesmerism would have on a dying person.

The narrator begins by booking passage on a ship to travel from Charleston, SC to New York. He soon finds that an artist friend, Mr. Cornelius Wyatt, along with Wyatt's wife and two sisters, will be on the same ship. Our narrator reports that there are three rooms booked for this party, and he wonders what the explanation can be. Of course, it must be a servant! But he sees that the word servant had been on the passenger list, but had been crossed out. We also learn at this point that the narrator knows Mr. Wyatt's sisters, but has never met the wife.
