- Ficción
In the second episode, we present to you a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and one of Edgar Allan Poe's best-known short stories, The Tell-Tale Heart. He is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. Poe was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone. "The Tell-Tale Heart" is a first-person narrative told by an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of the narrator’s sanity while simultaneously describing a murder the narrator committed. The victim was an old man with a filmy pale blue "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it.
