Is story is based off of a real man. He was adopted as a small child and let into a nice mans home. The old man had a fake eye more like a cats eye then anything else and that is what disturbed the child into killing the old man
+Alexdrena Herondale Maybe I've just been exposed to a lot of creepy stuff or maybe it's because I saw the animated portrayal first, but this wasn't that creepy for me. To each his own, of course. Wonderful story, nonetheless.
+Alexdrena Herondale I feel ya, man. Like Courage the Cowardly Dog, for example. That show was the shit in terms of the scare factor when I was younger. Now it's more entertaining than anything. Still a weird (but awesome) show, even when I watch it now. :)
+Autodidact2 But actually no one cares if you put a "-" between the words Tell and Tale because its not literally incorrect not to do so. Correct me if I'm wrong and I will take it with dignity.

Dakota Ward I'm saying that the reader didn't get INTO it like he should have, the narrator is an insane man completely out of his gourd, and so it should be read like someone who is wacky and out of their gourd, not emotionless.
Spell icup nigga But it is through the mind of the narrator, and in his mind, he is completely normal, and he has done no wrong. Note that the perspective of the writing is as is he is writing a letter. Now if the story were to be from a 3rd person perspective, only then may he sound truly insane.
This is the worst reading of this story that I have ever heard. Why does the narrator CHUCKLE at the climax, when you is supposed to be shrieking in rage and anguish?
Is anybody listening for a school project?
me
+Christian Millner Yeah XD
+Pookie yup
+Pookie Yeah. Sadly
me 😂
this is the story that really got me to liking Poe a lot more. And i love this calm voice this person has cause it builds on to the effect.
"ITS HERE, UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS"

Magicconchshell1 Nooooooo😂😂😂😂

Had to read this for school... I hated reading it, but the narration adds so much character
Me too.
I know right
Edgar Allen Poe had the most brillent mind of any poet though in his time no one understood and criticized him.
Drugs, thats what drugs do
2:16 this sounds so weird if you haven't read it first

Lmao my class definitely noticed something when that part came.

This story is one of the coolest story and made me more interested into Edgar Allen Poe, and wants me to read more of his stories.

Anyone here for a school one pager? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hate this reading, he a monotone voice and it isn't in the spirit of the story. This story needs to to be read dramatically.
What the hell do you expect? Its Edgar Allan Poe...
